Did you know? Nearly a third of MSEM alumni changed industries & advanced their career.

Syra Arif, MSEM '17 | Manager, Solution Consulting, Integrated Risk Management, AMS at ServiceNow

"I used to understand only one piece of the puzzle, but now I can see beyond the technical. The MSEM program really elevated my thinking, giving me executive presence and an understanding of the language of business. My return on investment has been 6x, and I'm ready to seize opportunities."

 

Heather Gaylord, MSEM '13 | Head of the Transformation Management Office at Takeda

"The MSEM program gave me vital soft skills that can be difficult to learn on the job. I can build strong relationships, make course corrections when things are going sideways, and resolve conflicts when they arise. In the end, to be an effective technical leader, you need to be able to lead people."

George Lee, MSEM '14 | Senior Director, Development Program Leadership at Xilio Therapeutics

"I learned how to be comfortable in uncomfortable situations. This skill was essential in my successful transition from a well-established multinational pharmaceutical company like Pfizer to a small biotech start-up with an ambiguously complex and dynamic environment."

 

Patrick Roach, MSEM '18 | Chief Operating Officer at Scrum Inc.

"The MSEM program was a great playground for exploring real-life dynamics and has made an incredible difference on my ability to have impactful interactions that drive organizational outcomes. By giving me the opportunity to learn on the job, I was able to take things immediately back to work. That put me on the company's radar more than I was before, but also brought back a lot of value to the organization."
