Biography
A native of China, Frank majored in financial engineering at the Shandong University of Finance and Economics. Though that education provided a solid grounding in quantitative methods and business fundamentals, Frank was eager to be versed in business data science—the language he would need to be truly valuable to any firm serious about extracting measurable insights from big data.
Says Frank, “The MSBA program made me a much better problem solver than I was previously because now I have not only the data skills but also can speak the language of my clients.”
Along with the strong lineup of analytics tools mastered in the program, including Python, R, AWS, Hadoop, Spark, and SQL, Frank also learned valuable communication skills.
What Goizueta packages in the MSBA program, according to Frank, is the perfect springboard for a career in data analytics. Big data can solve business problems, but not without the communication skills that must accompany making your work and its impact understandable to your leadership team and clients.
