Profile
Andrew Barkett MBA 09
Bay Area MBA Alumnus
Sep 21, 2011 Engineering Manager, Facebook
At Google I learned a lot about the Internet, large-scale computer systems and technology. Working as a management consultant and getting an MBA completed my skill set. Now, analyzing strategic opportunities and threats, and knowing how to motivate engineers to tackle them, help me take my career—and Facebook—to the next level.
