CASE STUDIES
Sainsbury Management Fellows have varied and diverse careers. The common thread to these case studies is that all Fellows are engineers with management skills and a global outlook obtained from taking an international MBA. The Fellows credit their analytical and problem-solving abilities to their study of engineering and consider it the foundation for their success.
SMFs have dynamic careers, so it is possible that Fellows featured in this section may have changed role since their case study was published.
