A large and connected global ecosystem. I saw that my classmates had an entrepreneurial mindset and were open to global business and embracing each other’s differences.
How did career development support you?

Seeing chances instead of obstacles and learning from failure—both of which I started to embrace at Hult.
Alumni network
“Always focus on what value you can give to other people.”
Clara Arroyave
Colombian
Co-Founder & CEO, PlaceMe
MBA, Class of 2014
Two years ago, Clara launched PlaceMe—a flexible living solution for the Boston rental market. Today, the company is the largest co-living business in Boston.
How has the Hult network played a part in PlaceMe’s success?
Our co-founder and first investor are both Hult alumni. The dean of Hult’s Boston campus continues to be an invaluable mentor. In fact, the whole Hult community has been very supportive and creates win-win relationships for those who have value to offer. We would not be where we are today without the Hult interns and staff that account for 80% of our team.
What’s your advice to incoming students?
Get out and network! Never focus on yourself— always focus on what value you can give to other people. I’ve had the pleasure of participating in Hult’s panels and events. It’s all about giving back to the Hult community.
How many years will it take to earn back the cost of my MBA (on average)?
