Hi, I’m Cameron.

Nonlinear career journeys can become your superpower—even though that may feel like the furthest thing from the truth as you’re moving through them.

I’ve been a professional mixed martial artist paid to fight in cages, a recipient of the prestigious Daniel Pearl Investigative Journalism Fellowship, and a corporate social responsibility leader at a company recognized as the #1 best place to work for three consecutive years.

I’ve authored a book of poetry, Malaria, Poems, named one of National Public Radio’s best books of the year, and, as a first-generation college student, earned an MFA in creative writing and an Executive MBA. Along the way, I’ve taught in a variety of settings—from massive open online courses and an all-female juvenile detention center to a Harvard Business School webinar and a highly regarded MBA program.

Throughout it all, I’ve remained fascinated by the intersection of business, ethics, and society, and by how feedback drives improvement in every field.

The result? I’d like to think these experiences allow me to see the vast gray areas between issues that, at first, appear black and white. And perhaps they will help me live up to NPR’s high praise:

“In the spirit of social consciousness, Cameron Conaway does the work of calling our attention.”

Ultimately, I hope all of this means I can bring together these seemingly disparate skill sets to add real value for my students.
