Cheryl Nunn

As the Founder and CEO of the MBA Standards Board, Cheryl Nunn, MBAe™, leads an innovative global credentialing organization born from her own MBA capstone project focused on transforming graduate business education. Nunn has identified a critical gap: recognizing the immense value of professionals' existing leadership work experience, micro-credentials, and prior education acquired outside of a single, high-tuition university structure.

The MBA Standards Board addresses this gap by partnering with accredited institutions like Harvard and Wharton to provide affordable, competency-based course alternatives, providing globally recognized designations: The Certified MBA™, MBAe™, and MBA+™. These certifications validate real-world expertise across twenty-one high-demand specialization career tracks (including AI and Fintech), effectively bridging the skills gap for employers and providing career-advancing, debt-free opportunities for professionals aged 25 to 65.
