Erioluwa Akinbode

Born in Nigeria, and leaving for the US in my early youth, I started my career as a technology consultant at PwC. There, I helped F500 clients design and implement frameworks, processes, and technologies to manage risks and meet regulatory requirements. I pursued my MBA to bolster my business acumen, refine my leadership skills, and expand my professional network.

As someone who learns by doing, Ross was a clear choice due to its action-based learning model and collaborative community. From MAP to hands-on opportunities with real companies, Ross offered the ideal environment to push myself beyond the classroom and tackle complex business challenges head-on. Looking ahead, I am excited to leverage my MBA experience to bridge the gap between technology and strategy.

Having benefited so much from the Ross community, I’m passionate about paying it forward as a student ambassador. When I was considering an MBA, a Ross ambassador helped me navigate my own uncertainties and highlighted what makes Ross truly unique. Now, I’m excited to be that same resource for prospective students, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about the Ross experience.
