Nate Fisher (MBA/MURP ‘26) is a Michigan man and a champion for the city of Detroit. Five years after receiving a BBA from Ross, he began the Ross MBA and Master’s in Urban Planning dual degree program with a desire to foster more vibrant and sustainable communities leveraging cross-sector collaboration. Before grad school, he was a consultant at Deloitte in Detroit, focused on mobility, sustainability, and economic development. Since starting his dual degree, he has interned for the Kresge Foundation and the Mayor’s Office at the City of Detroit. He is Co-President of the Detroit Initiative at Ross, and he served as a Board Fellow at COTS in Detroit, a social service non-profit, where he evaluated social enterprise opportunities amid federal funding cuts. Nate resides in Detroit with his wife, where he’s also involved in leadership roles at his local church and neighborhood association. After graduation, he will rejoin Deloitte Detroit as a Senior Consultant, focused on ESG Strategy, Infrastructure and Real Estate, and Social Impact projects.
Felipe Sahb Furtado, MD (MBA ‘26) began his career as a physician in Brazil, because he wanted to make a direct difference in people’s lives. But, believing he could drive more systemic change through prevention more than treatment, he moved to Massachusetts General Hospital to work on medical innovations for cancer diagnosis. Felipe moved back to Brazil to join an early-stage startup focused on disrupting the telemedicine market and making quality care more accessible to everyone, including remote and underserved indigenous communities. There, he built and scaled a platform that grew to serve over 3 million patients. Now fully engaged in entrepreneurship, he moved his focus to an MBA at Ross. While here, he was selected as Applebaum Impact Design Fellow in the Impact Studio and served on the research teams of the Urban Entrepreneurship Initiative and the UM Center for Entrepreneurship. After graduation, he will join McKinsey & Company in Detroit and contribute to efforts that improve healthcare delivery and equity. He plans to continue work with the Urban Entrepreneurship Initiative.
Sunny Huang (MBA/MPP ‘26) began her career as a Philadelphia Asian American Film Festival director, tripling Pacific Islander initiatives for North America’s third-largest A&PI film festival. As a two-time Fulbright Scholar, she taught Indigenous students in two remote Taiwanese schools during COVID and led the establishment of Fulbright Taiwan’s first equity pillar. To better partner with and unlock transformation for entire communities, she centered her degree on innovation at the intersection of business and impact. As Social Venture Fund’s Community Development Co-Investment Lead, she supported fintech and accessibility tech ventures in two deal cycles, and her MAP project designed a new financing arm connecting tribal infrastructure projects. After serving as Impact Analysis Lead for a startup that won the Michigan Business Challenge, she is now an Impact Studio Co-Founder incubating Sinnoya Hope Farm, a Taiwanese Atayal-led regenerative agriculture and tourism venture. After graduation, she is excited to continue mentoring underrepresented candidates as an Access Fellow alumna and supporting nonprofits and social enterprises advancing socioeconomic mobility and whole person well-being.
Jasmin Lopez (MBA ‘26) After earning her BA in International Business and Italian Studies from Dickinson College in 2019, Jasmin built a multifaceted career at Johnson & Johnson, where she served in roles across sales, talent acquisition, and training. As an MBA candidate at the Ross School of Business, she is focused on blending her heart for impact with the tools of business to champion more inclusive, consumer-centered solutions. At Ross, Jasmin serves as Co-President of the Hispanic Business Student Association and is deeply involved in supporting first-generation and underrepresented students through the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management. Her leadership extends beyond Ross as a Board Member with Playworks Michigan and as a Weiss Senior Fellow with Business+Impact. Through her experiences, she has strengthened her belief in marketing as a vehicle for access, dignity, and opportunity. After graduation, she plans to continue working with consumer-focused organizations while supporting mission-driven efforts that expand confidence, opportunity, and belonging for the next generation.
