When alumnus Dennis Mabe `22 entered the #NCStateMBA program he had one goal: become the CEO of his organization.
Mabe began his career as a meter reader for Randolph Electric Membership Corporation (EMC) and developed his path to become a vice president. To take the next leap Mabe explored MBA programs and landed on the Wolfpack, his alma mater, thanks to the caliber of graduates coming out of the program.
He focused on opportunities to expand his knowledge of finance — to pair with an existing background in operations and engineering.
