Leaders in Tech Series Session 2: HKS Alumni Working at Anthropic

Leaders in Tech Series Session 2: HKS Alumni Working at Anthropic

The Leaders in Tech series is a joint effort of the HKS Office of Career Advancement (OCA) and Alumni Affairs and Resources Development (ARRD) department. These career-focused events will offer insights, advice, and perspectives from (primarily) HKS alumni who have built successful careers in tech (often without a traditional tech background). We anticipate hosting 5-6 events each semester. You do not need to attend every session in the series, but doing so may help you gain a holistic view of post-HKS career opportunities in tech.

Through a panel-style discussion, HKS alumni working at Anthropic will talk about their current roles, the path they took to get there, what courses at HKS/Harvard were helpful, and what skills they needed to acquire along the way. There will be plenty of time for your questions.
