Alumni Weekend Spotlight

Alumni Weekend Spotlight | Anderson Propelled Jim (‘04) and John Baudino (‘04) to Diverging Careers

As they prepare to celebrate their 15-year Anderson class reunion, twin brothers and best friends Jim (’04) and John Baudino (‘04) reflect on their shared experiences and distinctive paths to their current careers. Today, they work in two different and rapidly changing industries: marketing technology and the cannabis industry. John, who is the global vice president at Acxiom, is dubbed as the “data” guy whereas Jim, VP of corporate development for Merry Jane Media, is the “marketer.” However, that wasn't always the case as their lives ran parallel prior to attending business school together.

The Baudinos and the classes of ’84, ’89, ’94, ’99, ’04, ’09, ’14, ’18, and MFE alumni will be celebrating their respective reunions on May 4.

Student Perspective

Student Perspective | MBA Team Partners with IDEO to Empower Low Income Women

An international team of MBA students are collaborating with nonprofit design agency IDEO.org on a project focused on empowering low income women for their Applied Management Research. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the project’s goal is to examine barriers around the use of digital financial services (DFS) and prototype approaches for greater inclusion. The class of 2019 team of Oxana Ermolova, Iryna Piven, Prateek Gupta, Haiyang Sun and Frank Zhang traveled to India to conduct primary research where they saw first hand “how lack of infrastructure and low financial literacy, compounded by systemic inequalities, create stark barriers to access and generate unforeseen negative externalities.”
