HCC Presents P33 CEO Brad Henderson with Chicago-Based Harvard Alum Founders Manuela Zoninsein (Kadeya) and Megan Murday (Metric ESG)

The Harvard Club of Chicago is pleased to host a conversation with P33 CEO, Brad Henderson and our very own Harvard Alumni Founders who have launched successful tech ventures in Chicago, Manuela Zoninsein (Harvard College) and Megan Murday (HBS). We’ll learn about what makes Chicago a great place to build a tech startup with these talented alumni Founders and P33 – an organization working to build Chicago’s recognition as a tier-one tech hub.

Brad Henderson

Brad is P33’s CEO. Previously, he was a Senior Partner at BCG where he led their Operations Practice and was a BHI Fellow researching impact investing and ESG. Brad serves on several nonprofit boards, including ACCION, Interfaith Youth Core, the Chicago History Museum, the UChicago College Advisory Council and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs. He is a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader and a Leadership Greater Chicago Fellow. He graduated with a B.A. and M.A. from the University of Chicago (Phi Beta Kappa) and attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.

Manuela Zoninsein

Manuela Zoninsein is the CEO and Founder of Kadeya, the world’s first closed loop beverage vending system. Our network of mini bottling stations and reusable “forever” bottles decarbonizes the linear and inefficient beverage supply chain while eliminating single use beverage containers. Kadeya is focused on delivering high quality drinking water to the industrial workforce while helping tradespeople monitor hydration and prevent worksite injury or worse, death. Manuela holds an MBA from MIT-Sloan, an MSc from the University of Oxford, and a BA from Harvard University. She attended Evanston Township High School and is a proud Brazilian immigrant fluent in Mandarin-Chinese, Spanish, and Portuguese.
