Pathways to Business
A new look at leadership and innovation.
Black, Latinx, and underrepresented minority (URM) professionals aren’t often highlighted in business. Pathways to Business aims to solve that by introducing all participants to an exciting, dynamic set of leadership and management stories designed to inspire future business leaders.
Delivered via an interactive and video-led online experience, Pathways to Business features five relatable leaders at early stages in their careers along with insightful commentary from HBS faculty. Educational institutions and organizations can utilize this free experience to enrich their courses and programs.
The experience consists of approximately six hours of content. Featured leaders include:
- Kel Jackson, Program Manager at Aurora Flight Services, a Boeing Company
- Tanya Menendez, Co-Founder and CEO of Snowball Wealth and Co-Founder of Maker’s Row
- Dilan Gomih, Senior Director of Digital Strategy & Talent and Instructor at Barry’s
- Jaylon Smith, Founder of Minority Entrepreneurship Institute (MEI) and NFL Linebacker
- Alex Diaz, Head of Crisis Response and Humanitarian Aid at Google.org
Who is this for?
This online experience is intended to be used by educational institutions and organizations to supplement their courses and programs.
Interested individuals may also access the content and complete it independently.
The experience is free of charge for all learners. Please note that HBS Online certificates will not be awarded for completing this experience.
