Technology and big data have transformed the business environment—offering key insight into customers and employees, helping companies make strategic decisions and providing opportunities for growth and innovation. Capitalizing on this new knowledge is vital for business success.
Robert Myers recognized that advancing in today's technology-driven business environment required more than technical skills—it demanded strategic business acumen.
Myers is director of strategy and planning program management for a cybersecurity
company in San Francisco. He decided to pursue an MBA at UBalt to maximize his potential
and grow into an executive leadership role. During his academic tenure, he found himself
regularly applying what he learned in class into his full-time job. While at UBalt,
he gained a new perspective of international business during a global field study
course in Thailand and won an “Aspiring Business Ventures” award in a business pitch
competition for his switchboard pedal management system tool.
I’ve been able to be promoted three times since I started my MBA journey. It may have taken four years, but I was able to get everything out of it. It has really expanded my horizons in the way I can contribute to the company, and I could finish the program at a pace that worked for my family and me. It allowed me to be the coach, the father and the husband that I love to be.
