Shinwoo Lee, '10 (AXP-9)
An executive in the Japanese movie industry whose studio produced an Oscar-winning film, Shinwoo was able to introduce new ideas from class at work right away. “Regressions are something I don’t typically think about at the office, but they’ve helped me look at those kinds of factors statistically,” he said. “It’s an example of how the fundamentals give you a way to think through the problem when there’s no quick answer.”

Carmen Rey, '10 (EXP-15)
Carmen’s job demands a global view of business, as well as a global network of contacts. With alumni on every inhabitable continent, Booth helped Carmen expand her reach. “Wherever I am based, I belong to a group of people who are really close in terms of shared experience; I feel like I have a reference everywhere in the world,” she said.

Eric Edwards, '10 (XP-79)
After enrolling in the program, Eric - a staff director in the House of Representatives - noticed a significant spike in calls from headhunters. He then turned to Booth’s Career Services. “It was nice to have the resources for research and experts who give seasoned advice about your resume,” he noted. “Other programs that didn’t offer those options were unacceptable to me.”
