Imperial College Business School Careers Event

Matt is an Imperial College MBA alumnus and joined RAND after a talk at Imperial College in 2007. Not a university and not a consultancy,  but with the capabilities of both, RAND is an independent not-for-profit research institute – often referred to as a ‘think tank’. The RAND Corporation is a non-profit institution that helps improve policy and decision making through research and analysis. An event with broad appeal, RAND considers healthcare, education and the environment alongside national security, terrorism and international affairs. http://www.rand.org/ The talk will be followed by drinks and networking.
