The NYU Stern School of Business MS in Business Analytics and AI Class of 2027 brings together seasoned professionals from across industries who are returning to the classroom with a shared goal: to understand and apply the power of data and AI to real-world business challenges. In this special edition of our Real Humans stories, we get to meet some students behind the degree.
To start, Alicia Younker shares her story of wanting to move into a more analytically driven career path after nearly a decade at Boeing. Then, Irakli Bebia, now a Vice President at Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, recounts seeking to deepen his understanding of how AI is shaping finance and decision-making on a global scale.
The cohort also includes Jose Bedregal, a longtime marketing leader at T-Mobile, who is augmenting his business and creative background with technical AI expertise. Finally, Priyanka Swarna, a senior data and analytics leader at BMW of North America with more than 17 years of experience, now focuses on mastering the intersection of enterprise data, AI, and strategy.
