In a message to the HBS community this week, former Dean Nitin Nohria shared his next chapter. “I am pursuing a new adventure as the Executive Chairman of Thrive Capital, a firm that invests in and builds technology-enabled companies.” Thrive is managed by founder Joshua Kushner (MBA 2011). Nohria stepped down as HBS Dean in 2020 following 10 years in the office.

“I chose Thrive because I was drawn to being more actively engaged in the entrepreneurial arena, something I have always been excited about,” Nohria noted. “And, because Thrive is a young firm with tremendous potential, I can continue to play the role of teacher and mentor that is so meaningful to me.” (See the company’s announcement.)

Nohria will remain engaged at Harvard University as the chair of the board of the Harvard Allston Land Company and teaching in some Executive Education short programs for CEOs. He will also continue to serve on the boards of Bridgespan, Mass General Brigham, and Rakuten Medical, and as a strategic advisor to the board of Anheuser-Busch Inbev.
