Emma Wendt

Emma, a Joint MS/MBA student, is interested in the intersection of climate change and the built environment, and will focus her course work in engineering and climate policy. She ultimately hopes to serve as a facilitator between industry and environmental organizations to identify common ecologically and financially sustainable goals.

Emma received her BA in Environmental Science and Public Policy from Harvard College, and wrote her thesis on the motivations driving a Vermont ski resort's environmental programs. Before attending Stanford, Emma worked at the World Bank and the International Financial Corporation in Washington, DC, where she led programs to improve the offices' environmental and social footprint. After her first year of business school, Emma spent the summer at NaiKun, an offshore wind development company based in Vancouver. At the Graduate School of Business, Emma is the Co-President of the Environmentally Sustainable Business Club, and is on the executive committee of the Public Management Program. Emma grew up in Nova Scotia, Canada, and is often found cooking and baking local and vegetarian fare for friends.
