Simon Colley
MIT
Sloan Fellow
Most of my career has been in experiential education in classroom and ocean-based settings, in the public school system and with non-profit organizations, including 10-years with Outward Bound. My most recent work in this field was as Director of Marine Operations and Senior Captain for the Tall ship Spirit of Bermuda, a program that seeks to create social change at a national level by taking every 8th grader in Bermuda to sea for five days, to improve teamwork, consideration, excellence and sense of their cultural heritage.
I am currently completing an MBA at MIT as a Sloan Fellow, exploring social enterprise models for providing transformational experiences on a significantly larger scale. Of particular interest is the potential for mobile platforms to facilitate process-based, rather than content-based educational offerrings.
