Meet the Board:
Suresh Jones, Head of the CVC Committee
Suresh holds a Bachelor of Science with a major in Chemical Engineering from Columbia’s School of Engineering and Applied Science (2008). He moved to London in September 2016 to undertake an MBA at Imperial College Business School, where he served as President of the Entrepreneurship Club.
Over the course of his MBA, Suresh found his passion for entrepreneurship, which led him to start a company in the Food and Drink industry. He is excited to help grow the Columbia entrepreneurship scene here in London. Prior to London, Suresh lived and worked in the Middle East (five years) and United States (three years) in Oil and Gas.
Here’s what you (may have) missed:
CVC Breakfast
Hosted by Suresh Jones (EN ’08), co-founder of NutriBloc, Eric Le Calvez (CC ’03), co-founder of Kidbo, and Saras Rachupalli (EN ’08), founder of Art Mandala, the first CVC Founders’ Breakfast was an informal gathering where any Columbia alums interested in entrepreneurship (do not need to be founders or investors) came together to share their backgrounds, journeys, and ideas on what they would like to see and get out of the CVC as the group builds and progresses.
Please watch this space for future events and feel free to email [email protected] for full meeting notes.
