Honors Five Graduates with Alumni Achievement Award - News - Harvard Business School
BOSTON– Harvard Business School (HBS) today conferred its most important honor, the Alumni Achievement Award, on five distinguished graduates. Throughout their careers, these remarkable graduates have contributed significantly to their organizations and communities while upholding the highest standards and values in everything they do. This year’s recipients of the School’s highest honor demonstrate how family, good fortune, and a healthy appetite for risk can shape a life. Tosh Barron (MBA 1972) has had a long career of business leadership. Reflecting on her decades in senior executive roles and as a lead director on numerous corporate and nonprofit boards, Barron said, “In leadership, I think the most important thing is to listen; the other is to be decisive. Salman Khan (MBA 2003) is the founder and CEO of Khan Academy, a nonprofit organization founded in 2008 with a simple mission: to provide a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere.
Talking about the impact of digital tools on learning, Khan said, “In mastery learning, a student moves at his or her own pace and takes as many shots on goal as needed to master a concept, before advancing. Naina Lal Kidwai (MBA 1982) began her career in investment banking in 1982 at British-owned Grindlays Bank in India and rose to head it in 1987—the first woman to head an investment bank in India. “The great thing about working in finance in India at the time was the opportunity to influence the evolution of the country’s financial institutions and regulatory structures,” Kidwai said of returning to India at a time when the sector was undergoing dramatic change. Upon her retirement from HSBC in 2015, Kidwai established the India Sanitation Coalition, an organization that unites corporate, nonprofit, financial, and government stakeholders in a national effort to improve the health of citizens and reduce disease by ending open defecation, treating sewage, and re-using treated waste water. Robert Ryan (MBA 1970), the 2022 HBS Class Day Speaker, is a business leader with a long, successful, industry-spanning career. On his decision to apply to HBS, Ryan explained, “I was nearly two years into a PhD in electrical engineering when I realized I was on autopilot.
