JAKE STEMMONS

I find myself at an exciting crossroads, reflecting on the diverse experiences that have shaped my journey so far. My time in college has been a blend of academic exploration and practical leadership, deeply influenced by my roles across various facets of business including marketing, sales, operations, and product development. This combination has provided me with a broad perspective on business dynamics and a keen sense of how to drive success in different environments.

​

My professional journey has taken me across four continents, offering me invaluable insights into both the startup landscape and the workings of global corporations. Notably, at Bevplus, a wine distributor, I contributed to a 300% increase in mobile orders month-over-month, and at Camal, I played a role in boosting the company's average Google search ranking from 17 to 7. More recently, an internship at Amazon's Fulfillment Center challenged me to lead large teams handling millions of packages weekly and to innovate cost-reduction strategies, further honing my leadership and operational skills.

​

On the academic front, my studies at the University of Southern California (USC) in economics, with a minor in classics, have been complemented by my pursuit of a Master's of Science in Finance. Beyond the classroom, I've engaged in leadership roles, founding a coalition for 1,200 student organizations and serving as the president of the Economics Association and the Foreign Service Society, experiences that have not only enriched my understanding of leadership but also underscored the value of collaboration and community.

​

As I look towards the future, I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had to learn and grow. The journey has been as humbling as it has been rewarding, reminding me that success is not just about personal milestones, but also about the impact we can make on the people and world around us. My eye is now turned to my career after college as I eagerly dive deeper into the world of consulting and entrepreneurship.
