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.”
