As Executive in Residence (EIR) for the Ivey Field Project for its new Master of Management – Analytics program (https://www.ivey.uwo.ca/mma/), my role is to help students think strategically about their projects, and help them think about communicating their analytic insights back to the client. MMA was launched as a new degree program in Sept 2021. It is a one-year business analytics program that targets working professionals in the 25-30 age range. It's a pleasure supporting the students in this program and giving back as an Ivey alumni.
