Ingram Micro and University of Sydney Business School collaborate to prepare students for the workforce

The Master of Commerce graduate was the project representative for her team. This gave Xiong further opportunities to engage with Australia’s leading distributor and Ingram Micro offered her a job interview after the completion of her course.

"Samantha and her team were the most professional in their presentations and we recognised the talent she could bring into our business. We wanted to ensure we gave Samantha the right career path, especially seeing her passion in Business Intelligence and Data Science. Today Samantha holds the title of Business Analyst within our strategic vendor group and we are proud to have her join the Ingram Micro family," says John Dalgarno, Chief Financial Officer at Ingram Micro Australia.

“Our partnership with the University of Sydney Business School exposed students to working on real business problems and managing stakeholder relations. It is important for students to work alongside industry experts and learn how to develop skills outside their curriculum before joining the workforce,” says Tim Ament, Senior Vice President and Chief Country Executive at Ingram Micro Australia and New Zealand.
In her new role, Samantha says, "The best part of my job is that I learn new technology tools all the time. Every project is different and I can always learn something new from it.”
