Jack Hanlon

MS in Business Analytics, 2014

Jack Hanlon, Co-Founder of Kinetic Social, was named one of Forbes 30 under 30 for Marketing and Advertising.

“Stern's MSBA has enabled me to connect with unbelievable talents both in the form of professors and my fellow students, all of whom have different expertise. The professors are professionals who still practice in their fields, my capstone project team included an analyst at the Fed, a former NASA employee, and a consultant who has worked with the Treasury in DC for the last decade.”

Cindy Dishmey

MS in Business Analytics, 2015

As Vice President of Business Intelligence, Analytics and Strategy for Goldman Sachs’ Operations Division, Cindy deals with an accelerating proliferation of data everyday.

“Industries are being disrupted at unprecedented rates, and massive data sets are typically significant drivers of these disruptions. NYU Stern perfectly married data science with direct business application for professionals who maintain their positions full-time.”

Bennett Borden

MS in Business Analytics, 2015

Bennett, chair of the Information Governance practice group at legal giant Drinker Biddle & Reath, credits his Stern MSBA with his success in creating an entirely new job description in his new role as Chief Data Scientist.

“As a litigator and white collar criminal investigator, my fundamental job is to figure out what happened and why.  In the information age, the evidence that answers those questions is largely in electronic data. Organizations are really struggling with the vast amounts of data they have, so the idea of information governance is to help companies get control of their information not only to avoid cost and mitigate risk, but also to leverage benefits in efficiency, business, and market intelligence.”
