“CISL offered a unique opportunity to follow my passion while continuing to accelerate my career at Google. It helped me to reframe how I think about poverty alleviation and sustainability, to have a much bigger impact on the world.”

Natasha Walji, Sector Lead for TGET (Telco, Government, Entertainment & Technology), Google, (Apr. 9, 2021)

“Because of its reputation, CISL is able to attract the best speakers from around the world. Many members of my cohort were also attracted to the course because of the sheer quality of what is offered. There can be a danger that by doing this type of course, you’re inside a sustainability bubble, disconnected from the real world. But the international, outward-looking, focus provided an additional dimension to the programme. Knitting the subject matter together with an emphasis on providing leadership skills proved a powerful combination.”

Andrew Phillips MA FCA, Rural Director of Finance, Duchy of Cornwall , (Apr. 9, 2021)

“CISL equipped me with the knowledge to make a lateral career move within the organisation. It provided me with the professional networks and leadership capabilities to support my impact journey. This led to me co-creating the first Kellogg’s Origins Sustainable Agriculture Programme.”

Paloma Lopez, Impact Entrepreneur, Impact Foods, (Apr. 9, 2021)
