Tal Dehtiar ‘05

Tal Dehtiar and Michael W. Brown co–founded MBA Without Borders, a not–for–profit organization that aids the business and social development of upcoming nations by sending early career MBA professionals to provide the necessary guidance for business development.

One of the primary reasons behind the creation of MBAs Without Borders was to challenge the negative image often associated with MBA professionals; to challenge the thinking that MBA professionals do little to help others. Tal and Michael have recognized a move toward social responsibility and since beginning MBAs Without Boarders they have had many MBA students across the country interested to help start local business opportunities in developing countries. Tal is the president of Oliberte, a company that makes premium footware in Africa. The company works to create fair jobs with the goal of contributing to the development of a thriving middle class.
