Risk Taking

In the first episode of Management Meets, we explore risk-taking in entrepreneurship and intrapreneurship. With personal insights from two alumni guests, the discussion covers the challenges and opportunities presented by taking risks in business.

Hosts Katie Calvert-Jones, Head of Alumni Relations and External Engagement, and Professor Steve Brammer, Dean of the School of Management, talk to graduates Jai Shah, Co-Founder of eSports team, Orangutan, and Shinarai Idrissova, a Venture Lead at Henkel Adhesives.
