Mark Albion spent nearly 20 years at Harvard University and its business school

develop a community of service-minded MBAs, co-founding Net Impact in 1993.
He's made 600+ visits to speak at business schools on five continents (including
the opening keynote for the first "Doing Good, Doing Well" conference at IESE),
for which BusinessWeek magazine dubbed him “the savior of B-school souls."
Mark is the author of seven books, most recently More Than Money: Questions
Every MBA Needs to Answer, with a foreword by Net Impact executive director Liz
Maw. This past fall, the book was distributed electronically to up to 55,000 MBAs
in 75 schools, including IESE. In January 2009, a company was launched to help
MBAs and other professionals implement the book's framework. An animated
movie based on the book, "The Good Life Parable: An MBA Meets a Fisherman,"
was awarded the largest environmental film festival's official short-film selection
last month.
