Recent Graduates – Class of 2018
With a background working in India's automotive industry, I decided to pursue my MBA at USF to advance my career in this evolving industry. The skills I gained in strategy, innovation and supply chain management, coupled with strong network connections in the Bay Area, helped me move into an exciting new role in the Silicon Valley startup and autonomous vehicle space”
Ritika Singh MBA ‘18
Strategic Sourcing Manager
NIO (Electric Automobile Vehicle Company)
In my time working at a nonprofit before coming to USF, I realized my passion centered on talent development and human resources. Little did I know my pursuit towards a USF MBA would help me land an internship providing technical talent strategy and advising at one of the world's leading enterprise software companies, and then be hired into a full-time role upon graduation. HR at SAP is not 'human resources,' but rather it's a 'human revolution,' and I'm ready for the adventure."

Drawn to the values inherent in USF's MBA program, the skills and education I gained allowed me to excel in my career while continuing to contribute to social impact. From my non-profit background in housing and homelessness, I'm able to continue contributing to that mission as a consultant at Gartner for state and local government agencies."
