Mr. Whizzy – Thanks for posting your profile. Susan Cera here from Stratus.

I like that you have worn different hats in the pharma space over the years and am impressed by your work achievements. I’m currently working with a client who is in operational excellence at Novartis and tackling some of the problems you will be looking to solve as a consultant.

I like that you have Michigan Ross on your list! Their relatively new Pinkert Fellowship targets candidates who have a vision for making an impact in the healthcare space. You might expand your list to include Duke, UCLA, Emory and Vanderbilt which all have strong presence and placement in both consulting and healthcare.

Wishing you all the best on your MBA journey!
