MIT Sloan offered the network and opportunities to pursue two career paths I was eager to explore: venture capital and product management/growth roles in AI. The alumni network and student community played a central role, offering candid guidance and resources that helped me land both experiences, and ultimately choose PM/growth as my path. Conferences and club events made it easy to build connections with alumni, many of whom were instrumental in my recruiting journey.”

MIT Sloan was the catalyst for my entrepreneurial journey. I didn’t arrive planning to launch a startup, but the Martin Trust Center gave me the framework to transform a challenge I’d faced as both a baker and CFO of a restaurant group into a viable business idea. Sloan Pride and the MIT Food and Agriculture Club gave me the community where I met my founding team. Tarragon, our startup that leverages predictive technology to help restaurants reduce food waste and navigate operational complexity, was born out of coursework in operations and AI where professors encouraged us to reimagine what’s possible in the restaurant business. Sloan provided both the tangible resources and the intangible support to launch a new business from the ground up.”

My post-MBA career path with a leading sports brand grew from the experiences, opportunities, and community I found at MIT Sloan. As a member of the LGO program, I had opportunities to engage with partner companies early and often. I also learned so much from chatting with my classmates about their industries and roles. CDO career advisors were there to help me navigate the job search, evaluate opportunities, and celebrate that final offer. Everyone I have met here is driven to follow their dreams and create a positive impact in their chosen fields, which inspired me to do the same.”
