Biography
Tyler's background was in sales, which he describes as a great training ground for someone out of college because "you have to think on your feet and develop the necessary soft skills."
As Tyler considered what he wanted in an MBA program, he drew up a list of three items. First, he wanted a "tight community" where he could get to know his classmates and professors well. Tyler also wanted a school with demonstrated excellence in the hard skills of business.
His third item was to join a program with a great track record in terms of placement and careers. According to Tyler, "Goizueta certainly was that."
In fact, he says, the Career Management Center (CMC) is the school's single most valuable asset. "Other programs might tell you that they will prep you," Tyler notes, "but they went above and beyond, constantly giving me new options and new opportunities to go after. In the end, I landed a job that I truly love. It was a fantastic experience."
Tyler's goal is to combine all the skills he has learned in order to start his own business — a consultancy in digital advertising.
