Brad Kittredge is working with Haas classmate Elise Singer and two students in the School of Information to build a Web-based marketplace to connect patients with doctors who are able to diagnose complex conditions. Their Haas entrepreneurship classes and workshops, the B-Plan and Global Social Venture competitions, and the resources of the Lester Center have been essential to their progress.
Permission to Innovate
"Haas has made me a better entrepreneur. It encouraged me to take chances and to understand that it is okay to fail."
Cross-Disciplinary Expertise
"The dual MBA/MPH degree gave me the broad understanding I need to succeed in my new choice of a career in the healthcare IT sector."
Teamwork Yields Success
"Leading Through Innovation means not being afraid to question assumptions-your own or someone else's. Part of leadership is knowing that you can't do it all on your own. You need to be able to set a vision and organize a team to achieve it."
A Diverse Faculty
"The diversity of the students at Haas is well-matched by the diversity of the faculty. All students seem to find one or two professors who really resonate with them."
A Tradition of Change Agents
"It's an honor to have been one of the six students selected as Brian Maxwell Fellows, named in memory of the Haas alumnus who was one of the founders of PowerBar. We are creating a community of people with a passion to use business as a vehicle for positive change in society. I'm inspired by all of the other Fellows."
