Why MSBA?
Before joining the MSBA program I worked as an EIM Consultant. When I started my career at consulting there were a lot of companies who were implementing their first ERP software. But gradually all the companies, which had a lot of data (clean/unclean), were interested in looking for solutions from the data they have, be it in understanding their customer base or making their own production processes leaner. With my former employer, there was a lot of emphasis on technologies like Internet of Things, IM on HANA, Hadoop etc. My exposure to a lot of predictive technologies available today and my work in the master data management domain increased my curiosity and it seemed like the move in the right direction that I take my Master in Business Analytics.
Why SMU?
For me, the two primary reasons for choosing SMU was:
- Hettie Tabor – Our Program Director. She joined SMU after 26 years in consulting. She was Accenture’s SAP Business Analytics Global Practice Lead. I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor and role model to guide me in my career.
