Choosing “Now” over “Never”

Taylor Moss followed his IMBA into an exciting life abroad.

Taylor Moss
Chief of Staff for the CEO
UnitedHealthcare Global
São Paulo, Brazil
Unstoppable since 2013

By the time Taylor Moss finished his bachelor's degree in economics, he was sure of only one thing.

“I didn’t want to wake up 60 years from now having worked the traditional, 9-to-5 grind and regret not trying anything different.”

Taylor had a love of different cultures and felt that if he didn’t explore it at that point in his life, he never would. So he took the international plunge, leading education and community-based projects in Jamaica for two years. It only strengthened his appetite for a life abroad.

“All of a sudden the IMBA program made perfect sense,” he says. “Even though I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to specialize in, I knew I could further my economics degree and turn this passion for multicultural experiences into a real career.”

A short time into the program, Taylor found his niche in operations management, and after graduation began putting it to work for UnitedHealth Group. Four months later, he became the chief of staff for the CEO of UnitedHealthcare Global, a Brazilian arm of the company serving four million people in more than 126 countries.

Navigating From Barracks to Boardrooms

Chris Stegmaier
Senior Strategy Consultant
Accenture
Atlanta, GA
Unstoppable since 2017

Chris Stegmaier had already met his share of challenges when he began to consider an MBA. With more than 20 years of government service under his belt (including time in the Army and National Security Agency), Chris saw the program at South Carolina as an efficient way to turn his considerable project management experience into a thriving civilian career.

“My MBA was a 10-month tutorial in how to adjust the skills I’d learned in the service and better leverage them to meet the demands of the private sector,” he says.

As his interest in consulting sharpened, Chris added Lean Six Sigma certification to amplify his process and project management education. Just one day after graduating, he began an engagement with a southeastern pharmaceutical company and then joined Accenture, a global provider of strategy, consulting, digital, technology, operations and services.

Today, Chris moves seamlessly from a Fortune 500 boardroom to a client’s international jobsite. Just as he transformed his career, he’s solving his clients’ most vexing business challenges with innovative solutions that make them more competitive.

Making Business Personal

From financial advisor to fair trade crusader, Kate Williams found the meaning she was missing.

Read Kate’s Story
Kate Williams
Impact Manager
Fair Trade USA
Oakland, CA
Unstoppable since 2015

In 2011, Kate Williams was three years into a financial advising career. The problem: her heart wasn’t.

“I just didn't have a passion for it,” she says.

Fortunately, a stint in the Peace Corps microfinancing female entrepreneurs offered the spark she’d been missing. And it inspired her to get serious about honing her business acumen to help others in the developing world.

Earning an MBA with a focus on corporate social responsibility, she did just that. Kate was recruited by a tech startup after graduation and gained a front row view of how global retailers like Gap and Nike handle sourcing. It was a unique perspective she parlayed into her current role as impact manager at Fair Trade USA.

Today Kate works with the very same Nicaraguan community where she lived during her Peace Corps days. Certifying that the sugar cane used in their rum distillery is fair trade, she’s impacting countless lives throughout the region.

Embracing the Unexpected

After a career in athletics, Kristen Dozier took her shot at high profile, corporate consulting.

Read Kristen’s Story
Kristen Dozier
Senior Management Consultant
KPMG US
New York, NY
Unstoppable since 2016

When Kristen Dozier began to consider an MBA, she’d just reached the end of a four-year professional volleyball career.

“Spain. Puerto Rico. Israel. Germany. Poland. I lived and played all over,” she says. “I was ready to come home and figure out what my next chapter would be.”

For a time, it seemed like that future lay with the athletic training business she’d founded in her hometown of Washington, D.C.

“Being an entrepreneur was great. And, honestly, I initially pursued the masters as a way of taking that business to the next level.”

Then Kristen got a taste of what corporate consulting was all about and everything changed. While interning with a hedge fund her first year in the program, she worked closely with its emerging markets team and discovered how much she loved this new focus area.

“It was so completely different, but so exciting.”

Kristen used the momentum of the internship and her immersion experience in Mexico to secure a consulting job in New York the fall before graduation.

“It was fantastic. A huge relief to be able to have a great position locked down and be excited about where I was heading after graduation.”
