Jared Naar

Jared Naar earned a bachelor’s degree in human physiology at Boston University. He was a competitive rower at BU, and thought he might pursue a career in sciences, but a different field kept grabbing his attention.

“I was interested in the sciences, but I couldn't keep my hands off of books about creative businesses, effective management, and the value of good leadership,” Jared says. “The MS in Management Studies program gave me the opportunity to propel myself forward with my passion. It educated me, it inspired me, and it prepared me for the workforce.”

When he enrolled in the program, Jared’s goal was to prepare for more than just a job in business, but for a lasting career. Now, that he’s graduated, he’s on his way.

Currently, Jared is in the corporate management trainee program at Guillevin International, a Canadian wholesale distributor of products and equipment for the construction industry. He’s one step closer to a career in global distribution.

“I feel extremely confident now in following a business career path where understanding supply chain management is critical,” Jared says. “I got this confidence through the great MSMS professors, courses, and hands-on projects.”

The highlight of the program for Jared was the projects he and his classmates worked on with real corporate clients. “The opportunity to formally present my understanding of a client's business and offer my own insights was extremely gratifying,” he says.

“My time in the MSMS program was extremely beneficial for me,” adds Jared. “I was able to grow into an effective teammate in the office where I work, and was able to excel in my company's management training program.”
