Analytics and Sales Training Program, Bloomberg
9 year career break

I relaunched after a nine-year break while I had my two kids. My prior experience was at Datek Online (now TD Ameritrade) and Vonage managing the Systems Operations group. During my career break, I ventured into entrepreneurship and owned several fast food stores (Subway franchise) in NYC.

In 2009, I decided to relaunch when my youngest daughter started kindergarten. I attended the iRelaunch seminar in NJ and was extremely motivated. I reached out to my colleagues and started to network because I realized how crucial it was due to the long career break and the bad economy. I read Liz Ward’s story among iRelaunch’s Relaunch Success Stories and was very intrigued. I reached out to her and she explained the Analytics program/process at Bloomberg.  I contacted Bloomberg and applied for the October Analytics program and landed.

I am extremely thankful for Bloomberg for opening the doors to relaunchers.  It is an energetic, transparent, innovative, exciting and stimulating environment. Everyone is incredibly supportive and wants you to succeed.  The Analytics program has been a great platform to seamlessly integrate back into the corporate world.
