With graduation right around the corner (!) I have been very excited to connect with the deep Harvard Business School alumni community in San Francisco. Last Thursday, thanks to David Schmaier and Nicole Keller, Keith Bender and I brought together young alumni who are pioneers in technology innovation. I personally love a Jeffersonian style dinner with one single dinner conversation. This one centered around “disruption”. We discussed how our own lives have already been disrupted with AI, what disruption means to us, and how we believe our beloved 120+ year old institution can continue to disrupt itself! Big questions and even bigger ideas. Thank you to all the founders and funders who took time out of their busy schedules to join us in the room! #HBS friends, if we missed you for this event, comment below. Would love to have you at the next one!! CC: David Schmaier Lizzie Matusov Chelcie Taylor Dean Benjamin Ankit Tandon Robin Lobo Louis Beryl Meka Asonye Caitlin Leksana Dave Anderson Prathik Muppidi
