After several years in the energy industry, Stuart came to Rice Business ready to build on his experience and explore what was next. Today, he’s bringing that experience to sustainability work at Chevron Phillips Chemical Company, combining his energy background with new perspectives and skills from his MBA.
Stuart's experience at Rice Business helped him find a new direction within an industry he already knew well. Where could the Rice MBA take you?
“I was looking for professional and personal growth. When comparing all the options — being able to be on campus, in person, connected to a world-class institution with so many resources available, that's what pulled me to Rice. I wanted to surround myself with the best and be part of the community. Within a few months of starting the program, I was able to transition into the business side of Chevron Phillips Chemical.”
