Alejandro 'Alex' Rubinstein, MSRM '13
“Enterprising” might be one of the more obvious words to describe Alejandro Rubinstein, the 35-year-old senior manager for branches and alternate delivery at BAC San José Bank in Costa Rica. He was just a college student when he snagged his first real job—on a class tour of a pharmaceutical company, the budding industrial engineer identified an area for improvement in the warehouse's efficiency and, as an intern, presented a 15-page argument for it. That doggedness won him a permanent job.
