Full-Time M.B.A. Competitive and Organizational Strategy


Principal Manager, Business Planning
AOL, LLC
Class of 2004

In his search for a highly ranked M.B.A. program that would prepare him for a business world in flux, Kevin Sheldon chose Simon, attracted most by the caliber of the faculty, staff and alumni. Once enrolled, with a concentration in Competitive and Organizational Strategy, he came to value especially the number of leadership opportunities, the small-knit community, the rigor of the class work and the team-based curriculum.

“Simon afforded me the opportunity to network with alums who connected me with my current employer. On the job, I have leveraged the leadership and educational skills developed while at Simon to solve complex business problems.” He credits the challenging, highly analytical-based education he received for equipping him well to assess strategic options in his work at AOL. Looking ahead to a continually evolving business environment, Kevin sees the School’s team-based, quantitatively driven, globally focused approach, with its encouragement of leadership development, as having prepared him very well.
