"The program has forced me to look at things from a different perspective. I've delved into topics I was not entirely comfortable with and have learned from a wide variety of other IT professionals. I'm more aware of trends and events occurring throughout the industry and can bring these back to my organization."
In his role as an account analyst, Kevin Chaloupecky relies on a blend of management and technology skills, a combination highly sought by companies.
