Prior to Ross, I spent five years in manufacturing in the beverage alcohol space as part of the start-up, operations, and maintenance of multiple facilities. In order to go beyond the factory floor and understand the decisions that drive an end-to-end operation and a business as a whole, I searched for an MBA program heavy on experiential learning. Ross stood out, not only because of the action-based learning built into the curriculum, but also the deep connections I found among the community here.
