Mag. Alice Schmidt MSc

I teach ‘Sustainable Business: Managing for Tomorrow’ to undergraduate and MBA students from around the globe. The course focuses on equipping managers for dealing with current and future challenges in the social, environmental and economic spheres, such as climate change, population growth, rapid urban development and global inequity. The course draws strongly on my international experience in Asia and Africa and has consistently received the highest ratings by students.

I lead research and consulting projects on Global Health, Sustainability and Social Impact for a wide range of public and private clients across different geographies. This includes conducting assessments, engaging stakeholders, designing and evaluating programmes, developing strategies, producing written insights and training professionals. I have worked with a range of public and private stakeholders, ranging from UN agencies, the African Union or the World Bank to large multinationals.

Leading the design of evaluation studies on quality of care, capacity building, regional alignment and overall validity of the theory of change for a DFID-funded £20 million project (‘Evidence for Action’ - E4A) to improve maternal and newborn health through evidence, advocacy and accountability in Sub-Saharan Africa.
