Parker Boone
Columbia
Summary
In the early stages of my career, I have gained an understanding of thoughtful operations management, strong branding, and customer-centric hospitality. I have a desire to build a business model that matches my standards of efficiency, product quality, and hospitality. I need a deeper understanding of supply chain strategy, growth management, financial modeling, and organizational leadership in order to create a stable business plan. An MBA will equip me with these capabilities while providing access to mentors, industry perspectives, and collaborative environments where I can grow as a hopeful entrepreneur.
