At our Fall Quarter Creative Connect on Thursday, October 22, Aries Media Ventures Founding General Partner Alykhan Kaba (Kellogg ’18) shared insights on combining media, business, and social impact, drawing from his career in consulting, entertainment, and investing.
He encouraged students to take practical opportunities, build transferable skills, and recognize that meaningful careers often develop through unexpected stepping stones. Kaba emphasized how creative professionals are most effective when they pair their artistic ambitions with business and strategic thinking, using media as a tool to create both impact and sustainable value.
We’re incredibly grateful to Alykhan for generously sharing his time, experience, and advice with our community. A huge thank you as well to our moderator, MSLCE Faculty and Kellogg Professor Allison Henry, and to everyone who joined us.
