Yale’s renowned strategic management program and commitment to social

responsibility represent the same fusion of strategy and social responsibility

that I seek in my career. The elaborately designed courses in “Organizational
Perspectives,” such as Sourcing and Managing Funds, will suit my
entrepreneurial goals perfectly. Energy Markets Strategy, taught by Arthur
Campbell, a thought leader in the wind and solar space, will teach me to
build competitive advantage for my future company.
Yale’s prominent teamwork culture perfectly appeals to my expectation on
studying and working closely with fellows and professors. Beyond that, the
famous “Raw Case” approach will enable me to best distill the information to
handle real world issues. By joining Yale’s first year International Experience
Destinations program, I will learn to think differently and effectively in a
multi-culture based environment. Whether participating in Yale’s Energy
Club, enrolled in a Bioengineering class at the Science school, or taking
advantage of the tightly-knit alumni network, I am eager to contribute to
SOM’s vibrant, supportive community.
 
 
The more I research, the more confident I am that Stern is the perfect
school for me.
I am drawn to Stern’s broad-based, balanced MBA curriculum. It would
allow me to choose up to three specializations which would develop both
my strength and weakness. Stern’s second-to-none Corporate Finance
and Strategy specializations would supplement my background in Finance
and strengthen my strategic thinking within the energy space. The Energy
and Environment course especially, taught by Professor Bruce Greenwald,
the author of Value Investing and The Global Race to Fuel the Car of the
Future, would give me a more global view of developing trends in green
energy.
 
Given my career aspirations in both green energy and strategy, I will seek a leadership position in the
Strategy and Operation Club and in SEA to catalyze more collaboration between the two
groups.
 
New York is the dynamic epicenter for many clean energy companies,
including Hess and Consolidated Edison, where I could learn real-world
practices. Moreover, Stern’s strong connection with private equity firms
located in NYC, such as Expansion Capital Partners, which invest in mission driven
clean-tech companies, would be a valuable resource for me to grow
my venture in the future.
Perhaps the most exciting element of the Stern experience is being immersed
in a multinational community of highly-engaged students. I look forward
to engaging my classmates through learning teams, sharing my sales and
marketing experiences in a diverse group of industries, including electrical
energy, silicon, and textiles. I am equally excited to learn of others’ diverse
backgrounds as well.
