Aisha Hauser ’24 MBA
A career at the intersection of science and storytelling
Aisha Hauser didn’t set out to revolutionize patient care — but that’s exactly where her journey is taking her. As a senior manager of corporate communications at Genentech, Aisha has spent her career at the intersection of science and storytelling, helping patients understand how cutting-edge therapies can transform lives. With the support of Kellogg's Evening & Weekend MBA Program and the Healthcare Pathway, she’s poised to make an even bigger impact.
For Aisha, healthcare has always been personal. “I’ve seen the difference that access to quality care can make,” she said. “But I’ve also seen the barriers that prevent so many from getting the treatment they need. That’s what drives me,” she said.

Choosing Kellogg to amplify her impact
When it came time to amplify her skills and deepen her expertise, Kellogg was the clear choice thanks to Healthcare at Kellogg's unique blend of strategic coursework and immersive experiences. “The classes are incredibly rigorous, but they’re also designed to give you practical tools you can use right away,” Aisha explained.

One highlight? The program’s Deep Dive program, which brings students together with industry leaders and faculty for an in-depth exploration of key healthcare challenges. “The conversations I’ve had during these weekends have been transformative,” Aisha said. “A ten-minute chat here can spark ideas that shape the next ten years of your career.”

Beyond the classroom, Aisha has tapped into Kellogg’s expansive network, attending marquee events like the Malcolm MacEachern Symposium and the Kellogg Business of Healthcare Conference. These opportunities have not only broadened her perspective but also connected her with a community of like-minded changemakers.
As she continues to chart her path, Aisha is focused on driving systemic change in healthcare. With the insights and connections she’s gained from Kellogg, she’s ready to tackle some of the industry’s biggest challenges — ensuring that the breakthroughs of tomorrow are accessible to everyone.
