PMBA Alumni Successes

Valerie R. Love ‘93 | Chief People Officer at Fanatics Commerce

“I treasure the people that I met at Massey: classmates, faculty and staff members. It was one of the first times I was able to live out my desire to work with others in a global context. I learned so much from a South African classmate who exposed me to a completely different view of the world.”

Mark Tulloch ‘93 | Chief Executive Officer at 7 Springs Orthopedics

"I had a wonderful experience completing my MBA at the Massey School. I was surrounded by very supportive classmates, and professors who were challenging and encouraging. Working and going to graduate school required discipline and sacrifices but being surrounded by a great group of people who were sharing the same experience made the journey a team event and manageable. I now enjoy being an active alumnus and giving back to the next generation of leaders in Nashville.”

Emanuel Reed ‘12 | Co-Founder at Slim & Husky’s Pizza Beeria

“I love that the instructors all had industry experience in addition to academic credentials. We learned the theory, and of course it's very important, but at Massey, everything is very hands on, practical application. That's really what I enjoyed the most, the knowledge was all coming from a real place.”

Louie Escobedo ‘16 | Director of Product Development at Amherst

"In 2016, I enrolled in a Massey MBA consulting practicum course working with Louisiana-Pacific Corporation. In our partnership, we completed a strategic recommendation spanning in-depth marketing research, strategy, and business development. This impactful experience eventually led me to seek employment with LP. In 2022, I had a full circle moment when I sponsored a similar group of MBA candidates as they began their strategic recommendation for two LP innovation projects. I look forward to their final recommendations.”

AMBA Alumni Successes

Mary Spencer Veazey ‘20 | Engagement Manager at Daystar Counseling Ministries

“Since graduating from Massey, I have been working at a nonprofit. I took unique path compared to some of my classmates who went into more corporate roles, but no matter what type of career you have, your MBA will be very beneficial. I was able to connect with a faith mentor while I was in the Accelerated MBA program and my faith mentor is now my boss! Without Belmont, I would have never made this connection and gotten this job.”

Allie Walker ‘23 | CFO at AJR Industrial Service

“I chose Belmont and the Massey College of Business for their welcoming atmosphere, strong reputation in Nashville, and valuable connections. The faculty and staff were incredibly supportive even before I arrived. Earning my master's from a well-respected university was important, and the quality education I received has significantly advanced my career.”

Corah Miller BS ‘23, AMBA '24 | Sales Development Representative at Oracle

“My experience at Belmont University was truly exceptional and transformative. I was consistently impressed by the institution's commitment to academic excellence, vibrant campus life, ad holistic student development. The Massey School's reputation for providing a transformative business education, coupled with its focus on practical, hands-on learning, aligned perfectly with my professional aspirations.

The faculty were instrumental in shaping my educational experience.”

Felix Rauch ‘20 | Investment Associate at Edison Partners

MAcc Alumni Successes

Dimeta Smith Knight, CPA ‘01 | President & CEO, Dimeta Smith CPA LLC

“During my MAcc experience, I connected with a couple of MBA students to participate in a case competition. We developed our case and worked with professors to prepare for the competition. We won the top prize and unbeknownst to me, the judges were recruiters from major corporations. We all received job offers before finishing our graduate programs.”

Chris Pritchett, CPA ‘19 | Wealth Management Advisor at True Wealth Partners

"The Summer Accounting Institute learning curve was very steep for me because my undergrad degree is in science. The fact that I learned what debits and credits are in May, and then took the first CPA exam in January is pretty amazing.”

Rebecca Tatum, CPA ‘09 | Senior Manager, Finance Business Solutions - Business Performance at The Home Depot

“My MAcc degree got me ‘in the door’ at a large company at a time when jobs were scarce! While the technical skills have certainly been helpful over the years, I see a greater advantage from some of the open-ended assignments we were given. Through those assignments, I learned to research technical guidance and document conclusions, develop an idea and implement it, explore technology and to always be curious and learning more. Those skills have shaped my career and continue to push me forward.”

Brady Plummer ‘09 | Vice President Information Technology Group at HCA Healthcare

"The exposure we have with the larger Belmont community has given me a more extensive network than I anticipated. I really like the way MAcc and MBA students comingle in elective classes. I remain friends with many of my peers from both the MAcc and MBA programs and have crossed paths professionally with many others.”
