William Chung, MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션01, says his successful career wouldn카지노 게임 컬렉션t have happened without his MBA from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s. Now he wants to help others.
William Chung, MBA카지노 게임 컬렉션01, knows firsthand how education can change people카지노 게임 컬렉션s lives, including his own family. His brother is a lawyer, his sister is a top marketing executive, and on his wife카지노 게임 컬렉션s side of the family, seven out of eight siblings are physicians.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We have successful careers because of the fact we all have a solid educational foundation,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Chung. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Education is important. If you look back at my career, I don카지노 게임 컬렉션t think I would have been successful without my MBA from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Chung, a former senior VP with Shoppers Drug Mart, credits earning an MBA from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in 2001 for helping transition from pharmacist to a successful career as a pharmaceutical and healthcare business executive.
After graduating from the 카지노게임사이트 of Toronto with a degree in pharmacy in 1990, he became a pharmacist at a Shoppers Drug Mart and moved his way up to become a manager of several pharmacies.
While many pharmacists go on to buy and run pharmacies, Chung was thinking bigger. He enrolled in the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s MBA program to expand his knowledge and build his business credentials.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Education is a springboard and catalyst for change in my career,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Chung. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I knew I needed to break the stigma of 카지노 게임 컬렉션once a pharmacist, always a pharmacist.카지노 게임 컬렉션 I wanted to legitimize myself (in the business world) and getting an MBA was the way to do it.카지노 게임 컬렉션
His career includes high-profile executive jobs with Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, Jean Coutu Group, and MDS Inc.
His interest in business was sparked by a start-up he launched in the early 1990s called MediSystem Pharmacy. At the time, many hospitals were using automated drug dispensing systems, a management tool that tracks and puts a patient카지노 게임 컬렉션s medicine in a single, individual container. The technology increases safety (by reducing human error) and saves time for nurses. Chung saw an opportunity to create a similar system to be used in long-term care facilities.
카지노 게임 컬렉션We essentially re-tooled the technology and adapted it to an industry where it was revolutionary because before that everything (in long-term care facilities) was done manually,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Chung. 카지노 게임 컬렉션This is what intrigued me into building businesses. Building a company from ground zero is a lot of blood, sweat, and tears.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Chung eventually took the company public in 2001 and it was sold to Shoppers Drug Mart in 2005.
In the spring, Chung is retiring at the age of 55. He started to think about his legacy and helping others, so he reached out to Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s to plan a gift to the university in his will. He recognizes the power of education to change lives, so he wants to help out future Smith School of Business students.
카지노 게임 컬렉션If I had to pinpoint one singular reason why I got to where I am, it is because of education,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Chung. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Tuition can be challenging for some individuals so if I can help, hopefully, it can provide them with the career opportunities I had.카지노 게임 컬렉션
Chung카지노 게임 컬렉션s pursuit of lifelong learning doesn카지노 게임 컬렉션t end when he retires this spring. He is using education to once again make a career shift. The passionate foodie and his wife are selling their home in Toronto and moving to France so he can study at Ferrandi Paris, a top culinary school.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I never stop learning,카지노 게임 컬렉션 he says.
