CHRIS BLACK Vice President, Ecommerce Operations, Gap Inc. In one word, the Fisher EMBA is: INVALUABLE At Gap Inc., I oversee all global ecommerce fulfillment and customer service operations for our portfolio of six brands—Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime, Athleta, and Intermix. My team operates fulfillment centers and contact centers throughout the United States, Canada, and the UK. In addition, we leverage 3rd Party assistance to support our eastern international customers in China and Japan. Attending the Fisher EMBA program has been a major milestone in my life. I knew before I started that I had chosen a good program, but it has turned out to be an exceptional experience—way beyond my expectations. We learn the latest and the best in business management from a team of world-class professors and business leaders. But the most rewarding part has been the chance to get to know my classmates, all of whom are experts in their own industries and functions. Under Fisher’s team-oriented learning environment, the friendship and bonding I’ve experienced with my classmates have been irreplaceable. RAVI DYTA IT Director—Applications, The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center - Arthur G. James Cancer Hospital and Richard J. Solove Research Institute In one word, the Fisher EMBA is: EXCEPTIONAL I manage three teams of architects and developers who develop web applications, content management systems (Internet/Intranet sites), and mobile applications for Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center. Professionally, I am more on the technical side. The Fisher EMBA changed my thought process for the better and gave me the right tools, business knowledge, and confidence— and provided windows of opportunity. Why Fisher. It was very simple: we have the best of the best faculty members with outstanding curriculum. “EXCEPTIONAL” AISHA ALLEN Director, Sales Coaching and Development, Nationwide Insurance In one word, the Fisher EMBA is: GROWTH I lead a sales coaching team within Nationwide Insurance to help develop consultative coaching skills in our sales leadership. Our focus is to ensure our sales leaders have personalized development and the appropriate tools to coach their teams for successful outcomes. This format was ideal for me. Given where I am in my career, it was not feasible to take time off to pursue a traditional full-time MBA. This program allows me to pursue my studies while still maintaining my personal and professional commitments. Why Fisher. The EMBA experience has provided me a tremendous opportunity to grow. The course work has been timely in allowing me to apply it to actual work situations. I have also learned so much from my fellow students during class and our group interactions. “GROWTH” Why Fisher. I chose the Fisher EMBA program because of its reputation, location, and experience. The program’s structure with three consecutive days per month allows me to still perform my work duties during the week and to schedule business travel around class dates. The class format keeps each session interesting and the professors are top notch in their fields of expertise. “INVALUABLE” 9th best EMBA program worldwide Businessweek, 2013
