Meet the Director
As an MBA Alumnus for Cranfield and an experienced senior business leader,
Director of Career Development Colin Hudson has a unique understanding
of the benefits and opportunities Cranfield presents to both aspiring senior
professionals and potential recruitment partners.
Colin is a former senior executive in Service Operations and General
Management in the European energy sector, and his commercial and
leadership experience is teamed with a strong track record in executive
development across a very wide range of sectors and cultures. He combines
this with a passion for Cranfield values and a commitment to being the best
partner for our students and recruiters.
Triple Accreditation
Cranfield School of Management is proudly accredited by AMBA, AACSB & EQUIS. “The school has invested heavily
in developing its alumni and careers services for MBA students since the last assessment visit. The quality and
quantity of support in both of these areas is impressive. The quality of destination data provided for MBA graduates,
the resources for a personalised executive coaching service for students and career development opportunities for
alumni are several examples of how this investment has been well utilised.” AMBA Reaccreditation Review, 2012.
