Babson College Miami

A Special Q&A Session with Professor Len Green, CPA, MBA We closed the week remembering an unforgettable session we hosted with Professor Len Green, where former students reunited to reflect on the lessons that shaped their entrepreneurial journeys. The session was less about teaching and more about celebrating Len’s unique, out-of-the-box approach to entrepreneurship and teaching. Students shared how his challenges pushed them to leave their comfort zones, spurring growth and encouraging them to think unconventionally. The room was filled with stories of how Len’s methods transformed ideas into action. His ability to inspire and provoke new ways of thinking is what sets him apart as a true mentor and leader in the entrepreneurial space. Thank you, Len, for your unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries and inspiring greatness, and to all the students who joined us for this heartfelt and reflective evening. #Entrepreneurship #BabsonCollege #BabsonMiami #Leadership #OutOfTheBox #LenGreen #Mentorship #MiamiTech
