JOSEPH MARULLO
Director, New Business Operations John Hancock FinancialWhy an MBA? “When I was working with the Junior Military Officer placement organizations, I did not feel as though I had a sufficient business background to make such a critical decision. As a result, my wife and I decided to pursue our MBA’s after we left active duty to make informed choices about the beginning of our new lives.”
Why Boston College? “I wanted to be in an environment that encouraged camaraderie and supported learning, and I believe Boston College was a perfect fit. If you need help the instructors are incredibly willing to provide it, and the size of the class creates a very close-knit community.”

Vice President, Global Rate Sales CitigroupWhy an MBA? “It had always been my intention to go back to school after the Army, though I originally thought it would be law school. When I decided to leave the service, I started researching what I wanted to do next. Every career that interested me was in the finance, so an MBA made a lot of sense. I had a leadership background from the Army. I just needed to acquire the technical skills”
Why Boston College? I attended BC for undergrad, so it was a bit of a homecoming for me. I loved the school and knew it to be a challenging academic institution with smart, caring people. From my undergraduate years, I knew that BC had a strong finance program. Several of my undergrad friends were doing well on Wall Street following their four years at BC. As a result it felt like a great fit for me.

TUCKER MAHONEY
Director, Partnership Development, Corvias GroupWhy an MBA? “It also became clear to me, while transitioning, that I had strong leadership experience and an interesting elevator pitch, but I was lacking the business acumen that would round out my profile. I needed to be able to show a company that I had the necessary business skills to add immediate value in the tactical, day-to-day operation of a business. Business school was the most logical path to credibly gain those skills in a short-period of time.”
Why Boston College? I found the tremendous amount of pride and selflessness within the BC community appealing. It feels like a large fraternity and the atmosphere reminds me of the “espirit de corps” found in successful military units; when you meet other BC people, there is an instant connection and a mutual understanding and respect.
