Turning Sustainability Expertise Into Strategic Impact: A CBS MBA Journey
When U.S. national Caroline Flibbert began exploring MBA programmes, she wasn’t looking to leave her career in sustainability behind. She was looking for a way to deepen her impact.
After earning her degree in environmental biology from Georgetown University, Caroline Flibbert took on a role as a sustainability consultant specialising in circularity and zero-waste initiatives. She built a career exactly where she wanted to be, at the intersection of science and business.
From Job Title To Value Creation: How The CBS MBA Helped One Graduate Reimagine Career Growth
When Fatih Öztürk moved from Türkiye to Denmark, he expected the transition to bring new professional opportunities. He did not expect it to change how he thought about career success.
Today, Fatih Öztürk is happily focused on creating “something valuable” in his role at LEGO, one of Denmark’s most iconic companies. However, before enrolling in the Full-Time MBA at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), his career path looked very different, and much more like a direct scramble to the top of a hill.
What Students & Alumni Say
“The current wave of geopolitical instability and economic volatility has fundamentally reshaped the role of sustainability in business. What was once seen as a long-term responsibility is now a core driver of resilience and strategic autonomy. From decarbonisation to supply chain redesign, sustainability equips organisations to operate more independently and withstand external shocks. This is why we place it at the heart of the Copenhagen MBA: because tomorrow’s leaders must be able to lead through this complexity.”
Andreas Rasche
Professor and Associate Dean, The Copenhagen MBA
“I chose Copenhagen Business School because in Denmark, and Scandinavia in general, there are a lot of leading companies in terms of sustainability. Moreover, in the EU, these companies are also leaders in terms of sustainability regulations, compared to other regions in the world. I now get to experience working in a culture that prioritises sustainability, and the agenda here is relatively advanced.”

“We are a small cohort with a kind vibe. I think CBS really chooses applicants that are the best fit for the program. In the class, we talk a lot about being in a psychologically safe space and it’s something that everyone is happy to prioritize. It makes the learning environment enjoyable. Within a short time we have developed strong bonds, it really feels like a family.”
