“After graduating the CIM MBA program, I was hired by CHRYSO admixtures and made the move from Colorado to the headquarters in Texas. I was initially brought on as the regional sales manager, but I have since become the U.S. vice president of sales and marketing. Honestly, having the MBA under my belt was a major reason that I was given the opportunity to be considered for the position. So long story short, thank you for helping to facilitate my success!”
