Biography
Prior to enrolling at Goizueta, Navy veteran Diana Kourcheravy had spent nearly eight years leading teams large and small. While she had a wealth of experience in leadership, she felt an MBA would add the foundational knowledge she would need in the corporate world. Because Goizueta’s Two-Year program compresses its core curriculum, Diana can take more electives—in finance, strategy, accounting, and other areas—that give her the breadth of knowledge needed to be a well-rounded and effective leader in her chosen field of operations management.
