Stephen J. Sacca, SF ’90

Director, MIT Sloan Fellows Program in Innovation and Global Leadership

Strategizingwithexperts“I wanted the high-level access to

MIT faculty that comes with being a

Sloan Fellow—to be able to talk over

problems with Nobel Laureates in

physics and economics, with innova-

tors and ground-shakers. I have seen

the remarkable power of MIT Sloan

thinkers, and I wanted to learn from

them and grow to be one myself.”

Mappingforexpansion“My company is eager to reach

out into the world and become a

great enterprise. I see this year of

immersion as the nourishment of

that aim. When I was deciding

whether to apply, I mapped all our

goals and gaps to the opportunities

offered in the program and achieved

a one-to-one match. I couldn’t

afford not to come.”

Discoveringdepth“The Sloan Fellows are so legendary,

I wondered if there was an element

of myth. But during orientation,

I realized the elite caliber of the

fellows is real…the depth of accom-

plishment, the breadth of diversity,

the global network, the bonding and

collaboration—all greater than I

could have imagined.”

Embracingadventure“MIT is on the crest of the world, and I feel like a kid on a skateboard with my hat on backwards ready to take off. I’m in this adventure for the thrills and for the chance to stretch, discover, and expand.”

Harvestingtheecosystem“In New Zealand, we are great

innovators, but we are not commer-

cializing or exporting nearly enough.

As a CEO and a passionate New

Zealander, I need to fix that. Just a

couple of weeks in, I’m already build-

ing a powerful global network and

tapping into MIT’s entrepreneurial

ecosystem. This is exactly where I

need to be right now.”

Buildingcommunity“The Sloan Fellows Program is a strong, inclusive family. When my husband saw how enthusiastic the partners are about the program and how close-knit the community is, he decided to make more time to visit from New Zealand so he can take part.”

ReachingacrossMIT“I strategized with the world’s top

aeronautics scientists, explored

pivotal technological innovations

at the MIT Media Lab, learned

from leading security experts in

political science—even tapped

the latest thinking on defense

policy at Harvard’s JFK School of

Government. If it was essential to

me as a leader, I could reach across

the MIT universe and get it.”

Exploringandreflecting“Immersion in the MIT Sloan

Fellows environment is not just

about rigorous academics. It’s about

the accelerated learning you experi-

ence by being at MIT full time: the

dozens of thought leaders who visit

campus each week, the spontaneous

brainstorming sessions over coffee,

and the exploration and reflection

you never have room for in your

normal routine.”

Developingperspective“Working so intensely with class-

mates from around the world day

in and day out meant that, by year’s

end, their experiences became my

experiences. Today, as I leave the

program, my perspective encom-

passes a wide swath of countries,

cultures, and industries. I could

not have developed that expanded

view any other way.”

“Now, my perspective encompasses a wide swath of countries, cultures, and industries.”

Meetinggloballeaders“During our international trip to

South Africa and Brazil, I was struck

by an incredible sense of momentum.

The nations we visited were very

different yet equally committed to

sustainable fast-track development.

The government and company

leaders we met gave us tremendous

insight into the possibilities for

responsible entrepreneurship.”

Collaboratingwithinnovators“I’m preparing to start a multinational

company focused on data analytics.

The best thinkers in business, entre-

preneurship, and IT are all right here.

The one-on-one interactions with

faculty and global leaders are unlike

any other educational experience.

And your fellow students are the

best of the best. I remember looking

across the classroom and thinking:

just the dozen of us in this room could

change the world.”

Sharingwithfamily“My family considered it ‘our’ Sloan

Fellows year. My wife, who is also

an entrepreneur, was able to work

remotely from Cambridge. My

children became fluent in English,

played soccer, and took classes

through MIT’s fantastic SPLASH

program. They loved the idea of

studying at MIT, just like Dad.”

“Your fellow students are the best of the best.”

Learningtolead“The program is a microcosm of the

corporate environment. You work

closely with people who hold very

different perspectives from your own.

You evolve from accepting those

differences to counting on them.

You learn there’s far more power in

collaboration than in competition.

And you learn not just how to lead,

but when to lead.”

Transformingthedialogue“My year as a Sloan Fellow was

the best of my life. I met so many

influential leaders and saw how they

integrated who they were with the

fundamentals of good leadership.

When I returned to my job at

HP, my dialogue with senior

executives was transformed. I was

immediately making things happen

in my company.”

Improvingtheworld“I always knew I wanted to do

big things with my life. As a

Sloan Fellow I gained a deeper

understanding of how the world

works — economics, finance, ‘the

Street’ — but I also learned about

poverty, sustainability, and social

issues. I gained a clearer, more

actionable vision of how to make

the world a better place.”

Emergingconfident“The value of the program was

extraordinary. It opened my mind,

stretched my thinking, and fueled

my creativity in ways I did not think

were possible. I emerged with the

confidence and ability to make a

difference in my company and in

the community.”

Bondingwithcolleagues“I was the very last person in the

class to arrive on campus. I came

upon a group of fellows deep in

discussion. When they realized who

I was, they immediately welcomed

me and dropped everything to

help me get settled and ease my

transition. That Sloan Fellows bond

is powerful — and lasts far beyond

the program.”

Expandingvalue“Every day, I feel the impact of my

Sloan Fellows experience. I am more

innovative, more strategic, more

global in my thinking. The value of

the program is integral to everything

I do and everything I am. Two years

have gone by, and I keep waiting for

that sensation to abate, but it doesn’t.”
