Mohammed was fairly new in his position as head of risk management for Saudi Arabia’s Jadwa Investment when he entered NYU Stern’s Master’s in Risk Management program. During the course of the year, his skill set and knowledge of his chosen field grew as he spent more time in his job—a perfect situation. “Thanks to Stern, I have already gained by being ahead of the curve in risk management, as I now have the ability to manage risk from a broad systemic and strategic perspective with a focus on enterprise-wide risk management,” he says.

“Understanding the discipline behind the application of analytics and how different it is from traditional analysis.” That’s how Lara sums up the value she took from her Master of Science in Business Analytics degree at Stern.  More practically, she adds, the skill set she acquired during the program is “absolutely central” to what she does as Executive Director, Hospitality Analytics, for Las Vegas-based MGM Resorts International.

Alejandro had a specific goal in mind when he applied to Stern’s Master of Science in Risk Management program. Even though he was already an experienced professional with many articles to his name, Alejandro explained, “I wanted to have the opportunity to think deeper about risk management concepts and surround myself with the best professors in this area.”
 

In  2013, Tahir Awan started an entrepreneurial adventure by launching an IT consultancy firm called MSCS, Inc. He was able to secure work through his reputation within his existing network of contacts but quickly realized that his venture required a solid business plan and a longer term strategy. With the motivation to pursue an MBA, Tahir started to research programs and found that the highly experienced Executive MBA cohort at Stern could contribute some of the insights he needed to run a business.

“NYU Stern gave me the gift of a management education,” says Dr. Ernesto Ordonez, MS ‘73/PhD ’76. “My gift to Stern is using that knowledge to promote and implement change.”
 
Dr. Ordonez has built a dynamic career helping others, specifically those in his native country, the Philippines. As the president of the Cement Manufacturers Association of the Philippines, Ordonez transformed the historically high-pollutant cement industry into a sustainable model, beating 32 industry sectors to win the Golden Hall of Fame Award for sustainable development.
