Kelly Yuen, Tech MBA 2022
“While studying user experience design and entrepreneurship as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, I became captivated by the intersection of people and technology. I have since been able to explore and pursue this passion as a Venture for America fellow, working at a SaaS startup. I held numerous roles while working at the startup, which culminated with me beginning my career as a product manager. After several years, I realized that I needed to round out my business and technical acumen to continue growing as a PM. NYU Stern’s Andre Koo Tech MBA, through its balance of business and tech, offered the perfect way for me to achieve this goal. I saw the MBA as an opportunity for me to continue my professional growth and move into a product role at a larger tech firm. During my time at Stern, the Office of Career Development was invaluable to my recruiting experience. It was with the career office’s help that I was able to focus my recruiting efforts, prepare for interviews, navigate offer negotiations, and ultimately accelerate my career as a Product Manager at HubSpot."
