MiM Career Outcomes One Year After Booth

A year after her Booth graduation, Devin Dubsky, MiM ’25, is making a mark in the world of professional sports as an account sales executive for the Milwaukee Bucks. She joined the NBA team in September 2025 as an associate, and just eight months later, earned a promotion. Her current role involves managing relationships with companies who purchase ticket packages and helping clients build connections through live sports.

For her, the energy of the NBA season is unmatched. “On game days, I’m excited to see Bucks fans and clients out there enjoying themselves,” Dubsky says.

That drive to build genuine relationships took center stage at Booth, where students were encouraged to develop their personal brands and clarify their career paths. These days, when Dubsky makes a connection, her pitch is simple: “If not today or tomorrow, I want you to remember me as your go-to person for basketball tickets.”

Her preference for authentic relationship-building shines through in community initiatives she helps support like Teacher Appreciation Night at the Bucks’ arena Fiserv Forum, or when personally welcoming families new to Milwaukee.

Booth’s fast-paced academic rigor prepared Dubsky well for the dynamic rhythm of working in a major league arena. Managing dense coursework helped her develop the organizational discipline needed to jump between office meetings and live arena operations. Working with career advisors and a diverse cohort of peers gave her the confidence to network with senior executives and navigate high-stakes environments. She also credits the MiM Program with inspiring her to take chances.

“My professors said if a course or study direction sounds interesting, try it out,” Dubsky says. “Without that encouragement, I don’t think I would have become what I am today.”

Looking ahead, Dubsky plans to leverage this momentum toward her long-term goal of becoming a premium seller or manager with the Bucks.

Arnaud Carboni, MiM ’25, thinks his career development would look quite different if one thing were changed. “Without Booth, I wouldn’t be in the US or at this company,” he says. After graduating from the MiM Program last year, Carboni was hired as an associate asset manager at Hut 8, a Miami-based energy infrastructure platform. Trained in Belgium as a mechanical engineer, Carboni says combining his builder mindset with Booth’s business curriculum gave him a distinct edge when he applied for the role.

“When you have a good education in both, you speak two languages,” he says. “You can go to the management team and talk numbers, and you can go to the engineering team and explain how design choices influence cost.”

Carboni initially focused on Hut 8’s Bitcoin mining sites. As demand for AI accelerated, the company expanded to develop large-scale data center capacity. Today, Carboni oversees the commercial and financial performance of operating sites, negotiates power and site agreements, and builds financial models behind investment decisions.

“This was my first full-time job, so I stayed late to understand how all the pieces fit together,” he says. “As the company grew, I’ve been able to train new colleagues coming in.”

Carboni also credits Booth’s emphasis on soft skills as instrumental for his development, both personally and at the negotiating table. One of his most impactful classes was Managerial Psychology with Linda Ginzel, which continues to help him better understand and navigate opposing perspectives. “That class helped me realize how many viewpoints exist for a company’s actions,” he says.

He views his experience at the intersection of energy and high-performance computing power, as valuable for the next step in his career. “AI will be everywhere,” Carboni says. “Being here at the very beginning builds invaluable experience.”

His advice to current students: frequently leverage Booth’s robust alumni network to your advantage. “Before new partnership meetings, I check the company on LinkedIn for Booth alumni,” he says. “Starting a conversation by sharing memories of professors or campus experiences builds rapport—that shared connection makes all the difference.”

When Aline von Szczypinski, MiM ’25, transitioned into demand planning for Amazon Inc., it was a shift toward higher impact work. “I wanted to do something more analytical,” she says. “I’m happy that I can actively shape my process in my current work.”

She now leads demand planning for new product releases, navigating the variables of Amazon’s supply chain like seasonal trends, marketing shifts, and exceptions to consumer purchase patterns. Because her team is only two years old, Von Szczypinski enjoys an unusual degree of autonomy, getting to mold her own role. For example, she is leading a project with the data science team to develop and integrate AI tools that streamline forecasting.

Von Szczypinski credits her time at Booth with expanding her career goals and refining her analytical approach. Hands-on courses like New Social Ventures with Robert H. Gertner gave her a holistic view of how supply-chain dynamics intersect with broader business functions. “If you haven’t worked at such a big company, Booth provides a window into an employee’s experience within a large operation,” she says.

Von Szczypinski advises students to immerse themselves in the Booth community. For her, this included connecting with fellow international students—she grew up in four different countries—as well as MBA students with varying degrees of work experience. Hearing how her peers navigated uncertainty and remained open to diverse paths inspired her; she broadened her ambitions beyond consulting, exploring new avenues in tech and operations.

Von Szczypinski views her current role as vital preparation for executive leadership, strategy, or entrepreneurship. “My long-term goal is to lead major strategic initiatives—whether within an established organization or my own company,” she says. “Between Booth and my current responsibilities, I’m building a foundational understanding of how a business operates from the inside. Mastering the numbers and operational processes now will directly drive that future success.”
