"Stanford GSB’s position at the nexus of academia and Silicon Valley offers the ideal platform to merge my passions for infrastructure investing, climate-tech innovation, and leadership. It provides a unique opportunity to advance progressive solutions with global impact."

Bea Asavajaru

MS '25

"Perhaps most importantly, Stanford GSB embodies the value most important to me: cultivating a community that enriches one’s life and the lives of others. That belief is what initially drew me here, but living the GSB experience has deepened it beyond what I imagined."

Abraham Ogoudou

MS '24

"I came to Stanford to explore how AI and climate change will reshape industries, from medicine to manufacturing, energy, and services. AI is one of the most promising technologies. Silicon Valley’s innovation ecosystem offers an unparalleled opportunity to learn from the forefront of AI and apply it to solving complex business, social, and climate challenges. I am passionate about leveraging these skills to drive meaningful change and actively contribute to this technological transformation."

Mike Burnett

MS '23

"What Stanford GSB taught me is that there’s no single archetype of a leader, and that to truly inspire others, I had to step into my authentic voice and understand both my strengths and my blind spots."
