Known for driving results in the workplace, innovative thinking and effective collaboration, UC Davis MBA graduates  are in high demand across a wide range of industries.

My career allows me to strike a rare balance between making money and making meaning. At Medtronic, I am accountable for $200+ million in revenue and 160 sales, service and management colleagues. My UC Davis MBA gave me a global perspective and opportunities to collaborate, tap synergies and improve project outcomes. I use the lessons for effective teamwork every day.
