London Business School published a profile of Emma Hutchinson, former Deputy Director for Clean Energy Innovation at the White House, who matriculated to pursue an MBA focused on sustainability and clean-energy policy. Hutchinson said LBS’s ESG and clean‑energy curriculum and UK leadership in climate policy motivated her choice. Her entry exemplifies the influx of public‑sector climate specialists into MBA programs, signalling demand for crossover skills in policy, project finance and corporate sustainability. Business schools and research centers offering climate‑tech commercialisation courses should expect increased interest from policymakers seeking private‑sector tools. Universities should consider aligning executive‑education and MBA offerings to facilitate policy-to-industry transitions and to meet employer demand for climate-literate business talent.
