Successful Alumni

"While the professors and formal education were top notch, the real world experiences are what really prepared me — and those were all made possible by Marietta College or alumni or contacts I made at Marietta."

-Sarah Snow ’13, Assistant Vice President of Loan Operations, Peoples Bank

“I had friends studying in nearly every academic department on campus, and involved in a wide range of activities. As a result, conversations and debates were never limited to my focus on international business, but rather enhanced by viewpoints on the arts and science, and the impact of various political systems and leadership models.”

-Megan Staley ’99, Business Development, ENGIE's Global LNG

“If it wasn't for Marietta, I wouldn't be where I am today and couldn't be happier to be a member of the Long Blue Line.”

In Fall 2004, Megan joined SUEZ Energy North America (now ENGIE North America), as part of the portfolio management team in LNG (liquefied natural gas). In 2008, she moved to London, then Paris, to focus on the portfolio management of the company’s global LNG market after the merger of Gaz de France and SUEZ (GDF SUEZ, now ENGIE S.A., a global energy player). In April 2015, Megan joined ENGIE’s Global LNG Business Development team, relocating back to London, UK.

-Matt Heinzman ’12, Global Key Account Manager, Air China's corporate sales department

Matt knew right away that he wanted to study abroad and have a career with an international business. He speaks conversational Mandarin Chinese and has enjoyed living and working in China since 2013. “Marietta did a fantastic job at preparing me for my career abroad after graduation by learning how to assimilate into different cultures and feel comfortable with my language skills through the language courses and studying abroad, understanding how big corporations compared with small start-up companies operate internally across all different departments and most of all being able to give a sound presentation to executive level managers and clients.”

“The unparalleled access to world class professors at MC provided me with an immediate and significant competitive advantage in the highly competitive world of corporate finance.”
