Why this Spaceflight Engineer got an MBA from Warwick Business School 

Antonio Fortunato | MBA alum | Aerospace Engineer 

In the world of spaceflight standing still isn’t an option. Aerospace Engineer Antonio Fortunato came to Warwick Business School not to change direction but to go further.  

His MBA gave him a new lens: “For an engineer who never really had exposure to business or economics, it was the perfect complementary education that influenced what I do every day and influenced the way I understand the world.” 

“It’s a transitional moment for human spaceflight, some of the work we’re doing at the space agency, is actually trying to find a different way of following and managing space projects so they can be quicker, more diverse, more affordable. I really hope that the work that I’m doing, that the team is doing in that context will make an impact.” 

For Antonio, change is what constantly drives us forward, and embracing it really can open up whole new worlds.
