    Marita & Marcello Cavalcanti: On Ego, Compromise and Stacking the Dishwasher
    May 5 2024

    Last year, the MBA 2003D class created a separate podcast series capturing stories of their class in the run-up to their 20 year reunion. This Unfiltered episode features content from one of those podcasts.


    Marita and Marcello Cavalcanti talk about life as an INSEAD couple, about navigating the relay race of dual careers within a marriage and about playing second fiddle. They also share interesting points of view on finance, startups, blockchain and capitalism.


    Huge thanks go to Milena Ivanova, who plays host on this podcast, and who offered to share this roster of great stories from the 03D group with the wider INSEAD community.
