Celonis- Data Scientist and Management Consultant

"MEM at Case Western taught me exactly the skills I was looking for, and helped me combine my technical background with more of a business understanding, allowing me to stand out over other candidates. I graduated and found a job where I work with technology in a pre-sales capacity, allowing for a large amount of consulting and working with clients, which is exactly what I wanted out of the program."

QGenda, Inc- Customer Success Consultant

"MEM provided valuable professional experiences, both in and outside of the classroom. As much as they possibly could, instructors gave us insight to their industry and roles. We were also lucky to participate in numerous projects sponsored by companies in collaboration with Case and Weatherhead. Asking the right questions, making strategic decisions, and communicating with managers or executives were some of the most important lessons I learned."

L'Oreal- Director, SalonCentric Store Analytics

"The MEM program taught me how to apply the technical skills I had gained from engineering to actual life.  The real world at work is nothing like the textbooks; it's messy and unpredictable, there are constraints that you didn't know about, and there are people with backgrounds, skills, and motivations that are very different to yours.  The MEM degree allowed me to understand how I can best use my skills within an organization to further goals for both myself and the teams with whom I work."
