On March 14, we’re rebranding from The Nomad MBA to become Nomad Academy. We’re levelling- up as a company and we’re so pumped for this new chapter.
Here's why...
----
This isn’t just about changing the name.
Or updating the logo.
Or rolling out a brand spanking new website.
Though it all looks pretty damn epic, right?
It’s about the drive we embody as a company to keep growing and pushing ourselves.
When Harry, Andy and I decided to first start The Nomad MBA, many people thought we were crazy. If you told us that one day we would receive over 21,000 invite requests and bring together 3 elite tribes to build a global community of 75 alumni, we would’ve thought YOU were the crazy one.

Looking back on the peak moments we’ve celebrated, the many lessons we’ve learnt along the way and the overwhelming response we’ve had from our alumni and our applicants, we realised that we’ve grown to be so much more than just a program. We’ve started a movement. A movement of young professionals driven to go through an accelerated period of growth and forge entrepreneurial careers that make them come alive!
We’ve witnessed first hand the power of bringing together a select community to overcome challenges, push each other to new heights and become an unstoppable force. So why would we stop?
To keep up the momentum and support this movement, this rebrand is just the first step. Keep coming back to our website to see what more we have in store.
