"MCI meets Berkeley" is the motto of joint events between the renowned University of California, Berkeley and MCI. Their latest guest was Daniel Krauss, Co-Founder & CIO of FlixBus and new owner of Greyhound Lines. Daniel Krauss has accompanied the Entrepreneurial School® for years as a member of the MCI Advisory Board. The event was held at UC Berkeley's Haas School of Business and was live-streamed by both universities.
After a brief introduction by Jennifer A. Chatman, Associate Dean of the Haas School of Business, Daniel Krauss explained how and why FlixBus has acquired Greyhound, a company that is more than 100 years old.
Afterwards, MCI Rector Andreas Altmann and Jeroen Dewulf, Director of the Institute of European Studies at UC Berkeley led the fascinating Q&A, including questions such as: How do you manage to unite American and European culture? What have been the biggest challenges and achievements? Where is the future of long-distance bus travel heading? What is the bottleneck of FlixBus and Greyhound? And, when can we expect self-driving busses?
