What’s next for Samantha?

In her current role with the CPE, Samantha uses the skills she learned on her MBA every day when leading several programs, coordinating stakeholders, raising funds and assessing risks.

"She explains how the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, sparked by the murder of George Floyd by US police, have thrown the importance of the CPE’s work into the spotlight. "CPE was committed to advancing racial equity long before 2020, and while our work has not changed in its essence, the multiple devastating events in the past months have translated into more funding and upscaling of our work," she explains.

Being able to leverage data to measure bias with topics as emotional and deep as racism in America, can bring in a new understanding of what the problems are, and what changes can be made to solve them.

On the ground experience, cultural sensitivity, and hard business skills learned on her MBA have prepared Samantha to provide real value in terms of progressing this goal.
