For more than 50 years, HBS has honored individuals whose strategic vision drives their work, whose creativity and innovation inspire those around them, whose character and values are exemplary, and whose leadership—in their careers and communities—is an example for others to follow.

The Alumni Achievement Awards will be presented on Thursday, May 25, 2023, as part of the School's Commencement ceremony.

"It seems most fitting to highlight these true examples of outstanding leadership among our alumni for our graduating students—both MBA and Doctoral—as they embark upon their post-HBS journeys," said Dean Datar in making the announcement. "They truly are leaders who make a difference in the world."

The event will be livestreamed for viewing by the HBS community. In addition, the awardees will be featured in the June issue of the HBS Alumni Bulletin and in the Skydeck podcast. Furthers details will be announced in May. Learn more about this year’s recipients and past honorees on the Alumni Achievement Award webpage.
