Now I have the pleasure of introducing our speakers, Akshata Murthy and Rishi Sunak.
As you will hear more about shortly, Akshata and Rishi, both members of the class of 2006, met right here at the GSB.
Throughout their lives and careers, they have been dedicated leaders in the private and public spheres.
Akshata has spent over a decade investing in early stage, consumer focused British companies, and currently leads the office of Akshata Murthy and which promotes initiatives to drive positive impact in the UK.
She is a trustee of her alma mater, Claremont McKenna College, and sits on the board of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
Rishi has spent the last decade in the UK government where he was Chancellor of the Exchequer before becoming the country's 57th Prime Minister.
He was the first British Asian Prime Minister and the youngest person to take on the role in 200 years.
He is currently a member of Parliament and serves as the William C. Edwards Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Hoover Institution.
Together, they have journeyed from Stanford to 10 Downing Street and beyond.
Please join me in welcoming Akshata Murthy and Rishi Sunak.
