I’m a product manager focused on creating customer centric digital shopping experiences to make sure our customers has a seamless shopping journey. Creating an impact at a global user advocacy level with a focus on innovation is what drives me and pushes me to contribute in a culture full of cross collaboration, growth and opportunities.

What three things do you feel make the MS SDM program special?

1. The environment of cross collaboration
2. Understanding and knowing problem solving skills
3.Interaction and engagement with professors who come from a distinguished and notable set of backgrounds

What advice would you give to current students?

Network, network, network as much as you can within and outside the program with other industry professionals especially with those where you want to be post graduation as that will help you understand their career trajectory, skills and know what you can do to get there.

Tell us about a time when an MS SDM Professor inspired you.

Christian Madsbjerg- he was one of the professors who co taught IS-2 class in my last semester. I enjoyed his class as along with teaching, he also focused on things outside our program, engaging us to think on how can we connect our learnings from the program to the real world and where we can future envision ourselves with that connection.
