My Story: Govind

Govind Menon completed internships in software engineering, strategy consulting and venture capital during his time at Carnegie Mellon. The flexibility of the Information Systems program allowed him to chart his own course through the major and provided him with a breadth of knowledge. Though Govind entered the IS program with scant coding experience, he is now fluent in multiple languages, and the program's finance and marketing classes gave him the tools to apply those skills in the workplace.
