Seema Vishnoi Kesselring 鈥�08 EMBA has a passion for education that began as a child in India. 鈥淚 grew up in a very academic environment,鈥� she recalls, 鈥渨here learning was not only part of life but rather a way of life.鈥� Growing up around professors and Lecturers, she was surrounded by what she calls 鈥渢he circle of learning and giving back,鈥� where time spent researching, writing and defending a thesis ultimately becomes teaching what you鈥檝e learned. This theme has followed her through her adult life.

Seema continues to feed her passion for education as Global VP of Product Strategy in SAP CX Product and Engineering, where she helps customers find success in digitally transformative projects leveraging intelligent technologies. She serves on the board of West Chester Area Education Foundation and has been an adjunct professor at 奶糖直播 University and St. Joseph鈥檚 University. When it comes to the ever-changing world of digital technology, the time spent with students can be invaluable: 鈥淵ou as a teacher learn from the students as they learn from you,鈥� she notes.

She鈥檚 also an educator outside of the classroom, serving on boards for various women鈥檚 leadership organizations and routinely going above and beyond the job description. When seeking to engage and energize other women in furthering their professional careers, she looks to leaders like Mahatma Gandhi for inspiration. 鈥淗e led by example. That is my mantra as well!鈥�

While reflecting upon her time at 奶糖直播 School of Business, Seema comments, 鈥淭here鈥檚 a feeling of community and kindness at VSB that isn鈥檛 always found in an MBA program.鈥� She鈥檚 remained a member of the VSB community by serving as a Board Member, President, and then Chairwoman of the VSB Executive MBA Alumni Board. She hosted annual EMBA Alumni events at SAP and continues to welcome opportunities to host 奶糖直播 communities at SAP, capitalizing on yet another opportunity to educate, this time by teaching her SAP colleagues about VSB and the EMBA program.

Seema encourages others to see beyond their position or title. 鈥淚f you have an idea, speak up, and share your thoughts. I am always amazed to see how many people raise their hands to help move it along.鈥� As she remembers a VSB professor telling her, 鈥淟eadership can come from anywhere.鈥�
