Many military veterans have accelerated their transitions by attending Emory University’s Goizueta Business School.

JACK SHENG
Investment Banking Associate, Jeffries
Why did you pursue an MBA after the military?
“After the United States Air Force, I began a career as an Investment Specialist with Merrill Lynch. Following that, I received an offer from T. Rowe Price to work with high-net worth clients as a retirement consultant. Working with individual clients has been extremely rewarding but I’ve always wanted to broaden my scope and provide advice on an industry level. Being a strategic advisor and having a macro-economic impact is extremely appealing to me.”
Why did you choose the Emory University MBA specifically?
“The close-knit community and the small class sizes lends itself to a more personal relationship with classmates and faculty that I truly value. Coming into business school, I was unsure about whether I wanted to pursue Investment Banking or Consulting. However, I knew that regardless of what I chose, there would be an alumni network that I could reach out to for guidance and advice. It also doesn’t hurt that Emory University is located in Metro Atlanta and allows me the luxury of living within reasonable financial means while still having a nightlife.”

MATTHEW MASTRIFORTE
Senior Strategy Consultant, Accenture
Why did you pursue an MBA after the military?
“Similar to other communities, Surface Warfare Officers are trained to be “generalist” managers during our time in service. We’re constantly transferring into new roles across multiple departments throughout the ship, allowing us to develop a well-rounded perspective as military leaders. I wanted this same type of experience in the private sector, which is why I ultimately chose to pursue a career in management consulting.”
Why did you choose the Emory University MBA specifically?
“Rather than moving to a small college town for two years (and then move again), having the opportunity to attend a top-ranked business school already in my desired location was a slam-dunk! Veteran inclusion was also a huge factor in my decision; after having several conversations with current Veteran students at Goizueta throughout my application process, it became obvious Emory University was the perfect fit.”

GREG SEAMANDS
Senior Consultant, EY
Why did you pursue an MBA after the military?
“Transitioning out of the Army, I got a lot of interest from companies looking to hire positions like factory floor supervisor, but they didn’t scratch the itch. I heard about consulting at the Service Academy Career Conference and was hired by Deloitte in their Government and Public Services (GPS) practice. After five years working in GPS, I decided to get my MBA and transition to commercial consulting.”
Why did you choose the Emory University MBA specifically?
“During my visit to Goizueta, the community really stood out to me. Everyone was very friendly, the school had excellent social events for us to meet with second year students, and I really enjoyed the conversations I had. I was so impressed with the community at Goizueta that I pretty much decided to attend as soon as I was accepted. The Atlanta area is also an amazing place to live!”

DOUGLAS ROBERTS
Investment Banking Associate, Truist
Why did you pursue an MBA after the military?
“I joined the Coast Guard after high school. I was wanting to serve my county and do something different from the traditional path, and the Coast Guard provided that opportunity. The experience was amazing, but I decided to get out to attend the University of Georgia. After my undergrad, I worked in legislative affairs before making the jump to commercial banking where my exposure to the investment bank inspired to pursue that path. I’m excited by complex transactions requiring quantitative and qualitative analysis. The work is challenging, but that attracts me to the industry as it creates a great learning environment and opportunity to be a real asset to my team.”
Why did you choose the Emory University MBA specifically?
“I explored many options including full time, evening, and weekend, and as I explored these different MBA programs it became clearer and clearer that Goizueta was the obvious choice. I wanted to attend a top-tier business school with a collaborative student body and exceptional professors. Goizueta offers all this, plus it being in Atlanta allowed me to continue working in my current role while earning my MBA. Goizueta had it all and has provided me a full-time experience as an Evening MBA student.”
