Josh works at Boeing as an Industrial Engineer at the fabrication site in Gresham, OR. With an undergrad in supply chain at Portland State, he was able to offer a unique perspective to his peers who had traditional industrial engineering degrees. However, he felt that there was a gap in his understanding of IT and the necessary tools to optimize and improve a business. In 2018, he decided to pursue his masters.
He will graduate from the MSOTM program in the spring of 2021. The MSOTM program has been instrumental to his success early in his career and allows him to contribute at a higher level than previously possible. With the skills acquired from the MSOTM program,
he can communicate, and articulate business needs to other stakeholders, solving complex problems faster. He has also been the MSOTM representative on the EAB board for the last two years.
“It has been a great experience to witness the passion the board members have in making the MSOTM program as relevant and innovative as possible.” ~Josh
