Tim Jandovitz
works as a full time business development professional and strategist at FIS Global in New York City. In addition to working toward FIS Global revenue targets, which he has surpassed by 100 percent in each of the past two years, Tim Jandovitz is pursuing a master of business administration in general management and finance at Cornell University’s SC Johnson College of Business.


Cornell University’s College of Business is actually three distinct schools, each catering to specific business and academic needs, while also overlapping in key areas to provide students with specialized depth. The Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, for example, has been designed to educate aspiring financial professionals who plan on utilizing advanced business and economic principles to address global challenges. Areas of focus in Dyson courses range from food and agricultural economics to environmental, energy, and resource economics and policy.

The Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management, meanwhile, educates MBA students in areas of business leadership, while at the same time highlighting the benefits of practice-based and collaborative learning. Johnson’s coursework highlights a plethora of modern business topics, including digital technology and sustainability, while also maintaining a focus on traditional marketing and product management processes, among other areas of study.

Lastly, Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration (SHA) is recognized as the worldwide leader for hospitality industry education. SHA programs explore virtually all aspects of the industry, from leadership insight to marketing strategies. For a more thorough look at all three schools, please visit www.business.cornell.edu.
