I see my executive education as a resource I can pass to others. What I learned at Dartmouth will have an impact on the industry long into the future.”
Todd Brassard, Calumet Electronics VP / COO, says Calumet values high-level thought leadership and success-minded business thinking. “It drives our growth,” said Brassard. “We’re always finding ways to develop, refine, and perfect our processes, which rely heavily on great employees. And the key to great employees is great leadership.”
The Tuck School of Business has a reputation as one the best business schools in the country. Brassard says Dr. LaBeau’s experience there truly energized her, and that she continues to bring advanced business leadership skills to the company and its industry.
