Wendy Abrams ’90 MBA

Wendy Abrams is the founder and CEO of the Eleven Eleven Foundation. She and her husband, Jim, established the Abrams Climate Academy because they believe business leaders play a key role in addressing climate change and the economic impact it will have on a global scale. 

“Kellogg produces future leaders, and our hope is that the people who are going to be leading the institutions in our society are going to care about the things that matter," Wendy says. "And I can’t think of anything that matters more.”
