Marie is pursuing a UNC Charlotte DBA because as a management consultant in the supply chain and operations field, she has seen firsthand that digital capabilities implemented to enable supply chains seldom scale, which causes companies to lose money, business growth to stagnate and negative customer experiences. With the pandemic, supply chains were disrupted and vulnerabilities were exposed, the aftershocks of which companies will feel for years to come. In the pandemic world, Marie has an interest in understanding how to measure effectiveness of digital investment and how to scale digital investment with changing generational leadership philosophies. With a passion for supply chain, her primary research interests focus on business information systems and operations management.
