Hear from our Alumni

The knowledge and skills I acquired at SUMAS have already proven instrumental in my career progression. Leveraging my existing supply chain background, I successfully transitioned into an ESG role, where I can effectively integrate sustainability practices into organizational strategies.

Mark FisherSenior Sustainable Supply Chain Executive, Bae Systems, United Kingdom

The main reason to choose the Sumas Sustainability Management MBA was based on the fact that the SUMAS MBA is multidisciplinary, targeting a wide-range of pivotal subjects, from finance, international finance, accounting to real hard-core sustainability issues.

Gisele WiddershovenFounder & Strategic Advisor, Blue Water Strategy

After spending almost 10-15 years intensely on packaging sustainability it became clear to me that learning on the job can take me only to a certain point. But to make my work more meaningful and impact larger sustainability agenda within the organisation I had to seek a formal qualification. And so I chose SUMAS which was focussed only on sustainability.
