From Classroom to Career: An Alumni Story with Nabeel Barqawi '18

Since graduating from Dean College, I have worked full-time for two fortune 200 companies, earned my Master of Product Innovation (MPI) degree from Virginia Commonwealth University, and supported the launch of Medicine Value Partners, Inc. (MVP), a MedTech start-up focused on revolutionizing the future of the medicines market through analytics.

After realizing that I have a passion for technology, I pivoted my career from brand management to product management. My day-to-day includes working with and empowering a team of designers, engineers, and cross-functional departments to ensure that we are building iconic digital experiences for our consumers.

Dean enabled me to turn my life around through their rich resources that helped me develop myself academically and professionally. I was supported and coached to tap into my potential and realize what I am capable of. Dean set me up for long-term success and I am forever grateful for everything that the faculty and staff have done to help me succeed and get to where I am today.

Forever a Bulldog!
