FULL BIO
Leandro Margulis, MBA '10 from the Yale School of Management, was born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He completed a degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering at Florida International University (FIU) where he graduated Summa Cum Laude in 2006.
As president of the FIU chapter of the Institute for Operations Research and Management Sciences (INFORMS), Leandro increased membership base and visibility through rebranding and marketing strategy, efforts which earned him the INFORMS Outstanding Student award in 2005. His active involvement in the Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) and the Institute of Industrial Engineers (IIE) furthered the goals of these organizations through events coordination and participation. In addition, Leandro utilized his membership in the Operations Research Honor Society (Omega Rho) and the Industrial Engineers Honor Society (Alpha Pi Mu) to promote the values of educational integrity and quality.
Recognizing a passion for innovation and leadership, Leandro chose a summer internship in Operations Management with GE Transportation, followed by an internship in Sales Consulting with Oracle Corporation in Miami, FL. These two experiences strengthened Leandro’s business experience, and began the process of applying his systematic thinking to organizational excellence.
Upon graduating from FIU, Leandro worked as a consultant with Deloitte Consulting in Business Process Improvement and Enterprise Systems implementations, where he completed system modules implementation and coordinated international project management efforts between the United Stated and Eastern Europe.
Combining these experiences with his MBA education positions Leandro to pursue a career aimed at building companies and capacity through strategic development while leveraging financial capabilities and innovating around emerging market opportunities.
