I believe that all problems can be solved via education. I am the founder & CEO of Haroun Education Ventures, an innovative online MBA Degree program designed to be accessible, practical and affordable.
I have raised/managed over $1bn in my career. I also have work experience at hedge fund giant Citadel, consulting firm Accenture & several firms that I started myself, including an investment firm that had a venture capital investment in Facebook several years before their IPO.
I am also an award winning business school professor, MBA graduate from Columbia University & former Goldman Sachs employee. I am a frequent guest lecturer at several Bay Area MBA schools including Berkeley & Stanford. I have an undergraduate degree with a major in Management Information Systems & International Business from McGill University where I am a McGill University Dobson Fellow (awarded for my work mentoring students with startup business models).
Through my volunteer experience I began to discover that my true passion was teaching. I became more aware of the obstacles people face when trying to get an education from a traditional institution. Most often it is lack of time and/or money.
I witnessed firsthand the outdated theories education used at traditional institutions. People ended up feeling defeated, leaving school in debt without the practical knowledge they actually needed to succeed in business.
I set out on a mission to change the future of education because I believe access to education is a fundamental human right. To date, I have sold more than 1,000,000 online business & self improvement courses in 12 languages across 196 countries. My courses have been profiled in Business Insider, NBC, Inc., Forbes, CNN, Entrepreneur & other business news websites.
