Raunak Kukreja

I was born in Princeton, New Jersey, and spent my early childhood moving across several cities before eventually growing up in Omaha, Nebraska. For my undergraduate studies, I attended UCLA, where I majored in Business Economics and minored in Cognitive Science.

After graduating, I began my career at S&P Global in Denver before transitioning into management consulting with KPMG in Los Angeles, where I focused on financial services and data transformation. I later joined BCG in San Francisco as a Corporate Finance & Strategy Consultant, helping organizations drive value creation through strategic capital allocation and financial decision-making.

I recently graduated from the University of Michigan Ross School of Business with my MBA. My time at Ross was one of the most transformative experiences of my life, strengthening my leadership skills, expanding my analytical toolkit, and giving me the opportunity to learn alongside an exceptional community of classmates, faculty, and alumni.

Following graduation, I moved to New York City to join Handshake AI as a Senior Strategic Projects Lead. I am excited to help shape the career network for the AI economy and contribute to expanding access to opportunities as AI continues to transform how people learn, work, and build their careers.

Choosing Ross was an easy decision because of its action-based learning philosophy, collaborative culture, and incredibly supportive alumni network. Throughout my MBA journey, Ross students and alumni were always willing to share advice, provide guidance, and help me navigate new opportunities. If you have questions about Ross, recruiting, academics, or life in Ann Arbor, please feel free to reach out. I am always happy to help.
