About the Session
Why attend?
Thinking about a DBA — but not sure if it's the right move for where you are in your career?
Join us for a live Q&A with two people who can answer that question from the inside. Adetutu Afolabi, a Hult DBA alumna, and Owen Price-James, a current DBA student, will share their honest experiences of the program — what it demands, what it delivers, and why they chose to pursue doctoral research at this stage of their careers.
Meet the Speakers
Owen Price-James
Owen brings 30 years of executive-level experience in industry, including senior director roles at Shell Chemicals UK, where he led business development into low carbon, renewable, and circular technologies. In 2020, he founded his own consultancy and now serves as Business Development Director to Kolmar AG, a Swiss multinational commodity trading firm. A philosophy graduate and MBA holder from Ashridge Business School, Owen is currently focusing his DBA research on the circular economy — specifically chemical recycling. He is based between London and Switzerland.
Adetutu Afolabi
Adetutu is a pharmacist, serial entrepreneur, and wellness advocate. As co-founder and CEO of Wellness Healthcare Group — launched in 2007 and now a leading health-tech and insurance business — she has built platforms including the Wellness Plus app and Pharmacentre, an e-commerce marketplace improving access to medicines across Nigeria.
In October 2025, she completed her DBA at Hult, researching entrepreneurship, risk, and financial decision-making. She joined us as a panelist in November 2025 and returns to share what doctoral research has meant for her as a leader.
