We are delighted to welcome MBA student Boo Umaly to the hot seat for our fourth episode of IESE Spotlights. 

Boo is a first-year here at IESE and brings to the program a wealth of experience as a digital marketing expert and founder of her own business at the ripe age of 24. This episode is peppered with a lot of helpful advice for first-time founders through to those interested in finding a VC internship and those considering an MBA program more broadly. 

A massive thank you to Boo for joining us. Lots to learn here!

Ally & Tiernan
