911³Ô¹Ï

The Charles Chang Institute for Entrepreneurship is delighted to welcome 911³Ô¹Ï alumnus  as its inaugural Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR), in partnership with 911³Ô¹Ï's Department of Economics.

This new volunteer EIR program complements the Chang Institute's long-standing Mentors-in-Residence (MIR) group – a cornerstone of student support since 2009. With more than a dozen MIRs collectively contributing over 1,000 hours of mentoring each year the new EIR role integrates into this community and expands how alumni can engage with 911³Ô¹Ï’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Shiva, who holds an MA in Economics from 911³Ô¹Ï and an MBA from the University of New Hampshire, is the exited founder of NCS Global, a pioneer in sustainable IT asset management. With over two decades of leadership at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and global growth, he champions circular business models and environmentally responsible practices. Shiva also mentors at UNH’s ECenter and serves as a Venture Partner at Apprentis Ventures.

During his Fall 2025 residency, Shiva will:

• Share his entrepreneurial journey with students
• Mentor young founders and innovators
• Offer insights into sustainable business, global markets, and startup leadership
• Engage with 911³Ô¹Ï’s MIRs and broader community of changemakers and entrepreneurs.

We are thrilled to launch this program with Shiva, whose expertise and commitment to sustainability will bring invaluable learning opportunities to the 911³Ô¹Ï community.
