Name:   Gia N. Montecalvo                

Title:   Senior Associate, Account Management                   

Company:   KPMG, LLP

Enrolling in the MBA program was the best decision I could have made and has been essential to advancing my career.  Expanding upon my business education was always a goal of mine, and when my former employer downsized, I had the opportunity to return to school and pursue my MBA on a full time basis.

My long-term goal had always been to land a position in the strategic marketing field.  The MBA degree provided me with the strong business foundation that I needed to advance to the next career level and achieve goals I had set for myself.

Currently, my job responsibilities include developing overall strategic account planning for Fortune 1000 clients. Earning my MBA strengthened the skills I needed to bring increased value to those clients, account teams, and KPMG, LLP overall.
