I was born in a community known as \u2018Nagarathars\u2019, who are well known all over the world of finance. This fame for finance is comes from the fact that our ancestors travelled all over the world doing business with other communities. I inherited the same qualities from my ancestors because I am very much interested in business. Having been born in the era of information technology, I was carried away into studying IT but found out that my passion was in business.\u00a0I have worked in Information Technology across various industries like banking, financial services, electronics, software services, retail, consumer products, automobile, and pharmaceutical in the last 14 years as an SAP management consultant. Working with the top ERP Products, SAP, I have gained in-depth knowledge of business operations in finance\/controlling configuration based on US GAAP, Strategic Enterprise Management, Business Intelligence, Advanced Planning and Optimization, Customer Relationship Management, Supplier Relationship Management, Materials Management, Production Planning, Sales & Distribution, Human Resources, Profitability, Point of Sales, and Revenue Recognition.<\/p>\n
Throughout these 14 years, I always wanted to be at the top. Working as an elite consultant with SAP America and IBM, I had the potential to earn up to $250\/ hr. However, I chose to take a full time job because the confidential information is not shared with consultants. In this regard, I felt that I was not getting the right information to keep pushing me up the ladder. As the head of SAP in my current company, I work with our CFO on a daily basis. I get a lot of exposure on how Systemax is running a business across various industries globally.\u00a0With this in mind, my long-term career goal is to become a chief executive officer of one of the largest companies in the United States. This will necessitate changing career objectives because if I continue with my current career path, it is clear that I will end up as a CIO. Even though I understand how companies operate from the technology side, in business operations I am not educated enough to understand the whole business strategy. The CEO\u2019s dream cannot be fulfilled without knowing the strategies involved in operating the business, sales and marketing and a real time experience as a management consultant. With this in mind, my immediate short-term goal is to gain more knowledge in areas like strategic management, marketing, and global economy to make me well rounded. NYU\u2019s global study program will be a big boost. After completing my MBA, my other short-term goal is to join management consulting companies like McKinsey, The Boston Consulting Group, and Bain and Booze. I would like to get back on the road and travel to various prestigious places to meet clients to implementing strategies, especially for mergers and acquisitions, and venture capitals. I want to spend a fruitful 10 years as Mergers and Acquisition Management Consultant before I make a huge jump.<\/p>\n
After attaining my MBA, my long-term goal is to become a CEO of a top company. Even though I understand how the companies operate from the technology side in business operations, I am not educated enough to understand the whole business strategy. The CEO dream cannot be fulfilled without knowing the strategies involved in operating a business, sales and marketing and a real time experience as a management consultant. With this in mind, the Executive MBA is a stepping-stone to achieve my woman-CEO goal. I am confident that the business strategy skills, marketing acumen, and holistic mindset that I will acquire during my MBA would give me the perfect foundation to achieve these goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
