Alumni Testimonials:

 


Title: Sr. Director, Marketing and Product Development
Company: UnitedHealth Group
Industry: Healthcare
UConn Graduation Date: April, 2002
 


Although my career path has taken me away from academia and into private business, I have found the skills that I developed while serving as a consultant in the UConn Laboratory for Sport Management and Sociology to be invaluable in the corporate world. I work at a very high level within my organization and frequently collaborate with corporate leaders on key organizational and industry initiatives.

These are very successful, accomplished individuals, many of whom hold MBAs from some of the most revered business schools in the country. The unique and differentiated value that I bring to this collection of people are the critical thinking and analytical skills I developed and honed while serving as a member of the Laboratory for Sport Management and Sociology.

I have found these skills to be paramount in driving sound business decisions that are both market focused and fiscally responsible. I'm confident that the intellectual foundation I built during my years in the Laboratory will continue to serve me as I grow my career.
