I learned so much along the way, and the journey was beautiful. I made friends from different countries who I still [fly across to see/visit] today. I made super good connections within the professional network, as well. I’ve learned things that I wouldn’t have ever had the chance to learn otherwise. And I’m at my dream company, so I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

I just came out of the military after 27 years, so I wanted to accelerate my learning and accelerate my growth within the supply chain industry. The Carlson School was a great opportunity to get that condensed into one year and focus on all the key learnings that would enable me to be successful.
