 Education
I have been very aggressive when it comes to my education, but more importantly, it is the focus and the timing of this education that has made a difference. Early in my career, I focused purely on programming and learning how to think logically, as well as a structured approach to both design and development. My education at Hofstra University provided me with a great foundation in the computing sciences (although I had been programming since I was 12 years old).
When I enrolled in Pace, I was looking to expanding my computing knowledge but more in terms of Management of Information Systems. At this point in my career, I was getting excellent real world programming experience at AT&T and believed that an M.S. in Information Systems would be beneficial.
And over the last two to three years, I enrolled to get my MBA from Columbia Business School. At the time I enrolled, I had 10 years experience and was getting more exposure to executives at Monster; it was crucial that I understood the business. I also desired to be seen more as a strategic asset, rather then someone who was all about technology.
Earning three degrees does not constitute me as an academic. I pursued education after a self-assessment of my current skills and an awareness that gaps needed to be filled in order to excel in my executive career path.
Sincerely,
