About the Author...

My name is Jeff Blum and I have been researching and referencing business management and leadership materal since early 2000 when I launched MBA Depot, a free resource for MBAs and managers.

I am a graduate of the MBA program at the University of Texas at Austin and I have a diverse set of career experiences. I began my career working for a Fortune 50 company and have since extended my expertise to the field of entrepreneurship, starting and/or working with a half dozen new businesses. I have also lived and worked in Japan and Guatemala and I have a strong interest in international business, culture and language. Despite my busy schedule, I do occasionally take on short-term management consulting projects so if you would like to discuss this possibility, please contact me.
