Candidate:

Mr. Start-Up Underdog

About Me:

I never would have imagined I would get this far in my career given my subpar GPA at Tulane, I was very uncertain about my future. However, I found myself with an offer at a late-stage tech start-up in Houston, and turned that into an impressive 6 year start to my career. Now, the only thing on my mind is continuing my upwards trajectory.

Big Life Wins:

The defining “win” in my career was getting hired by my former CEO to serve a key role in the financial and strategic planning as a consultant in a turn-around effort of a Seattle based tech start up. Not only does this speak to my technical acumen, but my great interpersonal skills, and the ability to win the trust of important people around me.

Post MBA Goal:

I love the strategic and financial niche I’ve gotten to work in for the past 6 years, however all of my experience has been in the start up space. While this space has allowed me to gain experience at an accelerated pace, I seek to perform the work I have in the past on a much larger scale. I view an MBA as a pathway to gain to perform such work.
