The Center for Emerging Markets (CEM) at Northeastern University's D'Amore-McKim School of Business is proud to announce the inaugural cohort of the Revvity Access CEM Scholarship and Executive Shadowing Program. This March, four exceptional graduate students were awarded scholarships and embarked on a two-day corporate leadership experience at Revvity, a global life sciences and diagnostics company, alongside six undergraduate students.

About the Revvity Access CEM Scholarship & Executive Shadowing Program

The Revvity Access CEM Scholarship enables full-time graduate students from emerging markets to advance their studies and further their leadership development through direct exposure to executive decision-making. Selected students receive a $2,000 scholarship and are paired with a C-Suite leader at Revvity for a two-day shadowing experience.

The scholarship is made possible through the generous support of the Revvity Foundation and the leadership of two Northeastern alumni, Prahlad Singh (MBA '00), President and Chief Executive Officer, and Joel Goldberg (MBA and JD '96), Senior Vice President, Administration, General Counsel and Secretary. This program underscores Revvity's dedication to equipping the next generation of leaders and innovators with the skills necessary to address global challenges.

The Executive Shadowing Program is designed to bridge academic insight at the graduate and undergraduate level with executive practice. MBA scholarship recipients are paired with an undergraduate student affiliated with CEM to create a collaborative learning experience, fostering cross-generational knowledge exchange and mentorship.

Students shadow senior executives, observe high-level meetings, engage in strategic discussions, and gain insight into the operational complexities of leading a global life sciences organization.

Executive Leadership Participation

For the inaugural shadowing program, participating C-Suite leaders included:

  • Max Krakowiak, Chief Financial Officer
  • Arvind Sundar-rajan, Chief Strategy and Digital Officer
  • Magali Four, Chief People & Culture Officer
  • Bryan Kipp, Life Sciences Business Unit Leader
  • Debra Shoji-Sinkus, Vice President and General Counsel
  • Jon Levin, Vice President and General Counsel

Students observed strategic planning sessions and real-time business decision-making while gaining mentorship and career guidance from leaders navigating innovation, digital transformation, and global market dynamics.

CEM's Mission in Action

The Revvity Access CEM Scholarship Program embodies CEM's commitment to preparing globally minded business leaders from emerging economies to navigate the complexities of international business. By providing students with direct exposure to executive leadership and operational strategy at a leading life sciences company, this program creates pathways for students to apply classroom learning to real-world challenges in innovation, healthcare, and scientific advancement.
