I decided to pursue an MBA at Fuqua during a challenging work environment and with two toddlers - ages two and one - at home. It wasn’t easy at first, but my wife was just as committed as I was in this journey as we juggled priorities. She leaned in heavily and took on several responsibilities at home until I was able to get settled in the program. We learned to plan out our weeks in advance and became strict followers of our calendars, carving out enough time for school and family.
I was a senior director of engineering at Lowe’s in the eCommerce space, and I led a team of approximately 250 engineers and product managers. My primary responsibility was to provide leadership to the rapid technological transformation of our online business.
Fuqua has significantly solidified my path to executive leadership. I have been able to apply frameworks from my classes in my current role and have reaped the benefits. I have learned to be more analytical in my approach to problem-solving and have expanded my lines of reasoning when it comes to decision-making.
