My Simon education has been quite instrumental in shaping me into the market-ing professional I am today. I always take a strategic and analytical approach to marketing, focusing on how I can deliver value for my clients. All strategies I rec-ommend are linked to company objectives with the goal of maximizing return on investment. This makes me a very valuable resource to my clients since they know there is likely to be little waste of funds. Without Simon, I would never be thinking like this; the education I gained there is really worth its weight in gold.

Marita Greenidge ’09Crimson-Jade ConsultingFounder/President

Simon students tend to be strong analytically and very articulate, confident in a good way, and they embrace diversity. But what sticks out the most about our Simon hires is how well prepared they are for careers in business.

—Kate Kortbus, Vice President, Financial Management Association, Citigroup

The education I received in the core courses at Simon enabled me to make valuable contributions that I would have been unable to make had I not received that training. The classes you take in your first year give you a great foundation of business acumen across many disciplines. My internship was in private equity, and I obviously drew upon knowledge gained in Accounting and Finance classes, however I quickly found that I was also using skills honed in classes such as Marketing, Strategy and Information Systems to add value to the firm.

Jason Hall ’08DeltaPoint Capital III, L.P.Senior Associate

The Simon School consistently produces talent strong in the areas of analytics and finance. This is attractive to employers, because Simon students are able to hit the ground running when it comes to modeling business case scenarios and presenting recommendations.
