Akhil Choda

As Vice President of Professional Development, Akhil hosts a wide variety of professional development events, such as the Executive Dinner Series and Educational Workshops, that foster professional growth and learning within the W.P. Carey community. Furthermore, he has worked to create an alum database for the Business School Council (BSC) members to enhance networking and create connections to the corporate world.

Outside of the BSC, Akhil is the Head of Brand Management for Arizona Microcredit Initiative, a member of the  Investment Banking Industry Scholars, and a Business Community Leader. 

Since joining BSC, Akhil thoroughly enjoyed his time within the organization. He joined in the fall of his freshman year and has consistently sought ways to help the organization and W.P. Carey. He became a director the following semester and helped organize events like an Executive Dinner Series with a speaker from Axon, Philanthropy Week events, and more. This year, Akhil is the Vice President of Professional Development and is super excited to create meaningful events for W.P. Carey Students. His favorite part of the Business School Council are the  philanthropy events. He loves volunteering across the valley for different causes like Feed My Starving Children, Keep Tempe Beautiful, and Writing cards to soldiers. “I am grateful for his time at BSC and look forward to more professional growth this year”.
