Happy Birthday!
We asked the alumni below, celebrating a birthday today, December 21, "Where are you now?" Here's what they said...
Arturo Aldunate MBA '13
I have been living in Chile since graduating from Fuqua. Today, I work at Credicorp Capital as managing director of Capital Markets. Three of us arrived from Fuqua (Arturo, the eldest, a Fuqua kid - 2011), and today we are six Adunate-Concha.
Andy Beach MBA '94
I recently retired from Waveguide LLC, a technology management service firm that was successfully sold in 2021. I plan on taking a year off to travel and enjoy my hobbies, including surfing and poker tournaments.
Kevin Doyle MBA '16
Caitlin and I are living in Glen Ellyn, IL, with our three kids -- Grace, Callahan, and Brady. I am currently managing investment assets for a non-profit, including a small portfolio of hotels/resorts that donate 100% of their profits to charity, as well as take on charitable initiatives that impact the employees and surrounding community. Reach out if you're in Detroit, Mackinac Island, or Laramie, WY, and want to visit these "Humanitarian Hotels"!
Rishi Gupta MBA '14
Happy holidays from Irvine, California! After Fuqua, I decided to move back to California and have been a part of Taco Bell’s technology team focused on digitizing the customer experience. My wife (Kimberly) and I welcomed our first child (Everly) earlier this year. I cannot wait to celebrate the holidays as a first-time dad!
Anyi Ma PhD '20
Greetings from chilly Wisconsin, where I currently work as an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I love exploring the great outdoors here in the Midwest, and I'm excited about taking my first skiing lessons this winter. Here is a picture of me in warm, balmy Hawaii, where I swam with stingrays and had some great grindz.
Noah Nguyen MSQM '20
We are moving to the Philadelphia area soon for William’s new position at Ally, and I am working in marketing analytics at American Public Education Inc. We met at Fuqua (I’m MQM, he’s MMS, and somehow, it still works out) and have been trying to see as much of the world together as possible. Australia let us witness amazing fauna, and France had the best pastries.
Rubing Qiang MBA '22
Howdy and happy holidays, Team Fuqua! I'm living in Austin, Texas, with my ginger cat, Turbo, who was with me along the whole MBA journey and also the new chapter where I pivoted from the supply chain field into the product management arena. I'm now working as a server product manager at Dell Technologies. In my free time, I enjoy photography, traveling, and exploring new spots. I recently just finished my vacation in Hawaii while driving up to the summit of Mauna Kea and had a blast there. The second photo is from a Friendsgiving celebration with my fellow Dukies in Austin!
Kevin Radez MBA '85
I'm living in Apex, NC, happily retired from 30 years working at IBM and attending Duke sports year-round. My five Grandchildren are fully involved in home school and travel sports teams, so I'm frequently called on to help fill in for travel plans.
Susan Sasu MBA '18
After four years in Seattle, I relocated to the DC/Maryland area last year with my husband, and I work at Amazon in content strategy for Amazon Selling Partners. I recently became a boy mom and enjoy going on long walks with my family and trying out the DMV's incredible food scene.
Rotimi Thomas MBA '13, MEM '13
I live in Lagos, Nigeria, with my wife and our puppy. I’m the CEO and co-founder of SunFi.co, a managed marketplace for solar in Nigeria. Here’s a recent pic of my father and me at a gala in Lagos.
