Super Goal-Directed

Superna Kalle (MBA ’99)

From early on, Superna Kalle knew what she wanted. “When I was applying to NYU Stern, one of the essay questions asked: Where do you see yourself in five years?” she said. “I answered that I would love to be working in the global television industry, primarily concentrating on India.” She was spot on. Today, as Senior Vice President of International Networks at Sony Pictures Television (SPT), Kalle provides leadership to SPT’s television networks business in India, Multi Screen Media Private Ltd., which includes the channels Sony Entertainment Television, MAX, SAB, and PIX.

Kalle works with each channel’s management to ensure profitability and establish overall business priorities and new initiatives for the channels in the region, and she is responsible for expanding the portfolio of Indian channels and content across multiple distribution platforms in the US. “I’m so fortunate, because every day is different. I work closely with the very talented and entrepreneurial management of each of our channels, as well as with the functional experts that we have here in Los Angeles,” she said.

But Kalle didn’t just serendipitously land in her dream job. “I was working in investment banking and didn’t particularly enjoy myself,” she explained. “I thought the best way to change careers and get into the entertainment industry was to get an MBA from a world-class business school.” Kalle enrolled in business school full time and simultaneously accepted an internship at Viacom, where she worked in the marketing department of Nickelodeon. “It worked out well,” she said. “I was recruited at Stern to join Sony Pictures Entertainment’s Corporate Development Group. One day, I mentioned to the head of one of our operating divisions that I may be ready to move to an operating role.” The next day, she received a call offering her a position working with television channels in India at SPT. “Given that I’m Indian-American, that was a definite ‘yes,’” she said.

Kalle attributes much of her success to the skills she learned at Stern, especially from her finance and corporate governance classes. “Meeting so many people from around the world at Stern helped me transition to an international media career, too,” she said.

Outside of work, Kalle spends time with her family and reads voraciously. “I actually am doing what I said I wanted to do in my business school essay. How many people can say that?” she said with delight.

Boeing, Boeing!

Gary Baker (MBA ’03)

Gary Baker has had as diverse a career as they come, with just one employer. With many Boeing management positions behind him, Baker is currently the CEO and Director General of Ural Boeing Manufacturing (UBM), a joint venture between Boeing and Russia’s VSMPO-AVISMA that produces titanium parts for Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner jets. His MBA is similarly diverse: a product of the TRIUM Global Executive MBA Program, a three-school international degree.

Since kick-starting his 29-year career with Boeing in 1980, Baker climbed the corporate ladder wearing many hats. Prior to his appointment at UBM in April 2007, he held numerous management positions in manufacturing, quality assurance, program management, and technical integration, culminating in his prior position as Director of Global Partners Field Operations. “The biggest challenge in working for such a large company,” he noted, “is not getting lost or pigeonholed into a specific discipline or function.” He advises employees to play an active role in their careers and decide what they want to get from their experience. “I wanted to learn to build airplanes, experience customer service, examine sales, and work with suppliers to get a well-rounded and diverse view of the company,” he said. “Boeing is an amazing company to work for and has afforded me many opportunities to grow into my current position.”

Baker’s career has been abundantly rewarding and has offered him the chance to work globally in Europe and Asia, including the UK, Spain, and now Russia. “Bringing this enterprise together for UBM has been incredibly gratifying,” he said. He is also the Founding President of the International Aerospace Quality Group, which is an industry association implementing global improvements in aerospace. “I constantly strive to improve the quality of our professional community,” he said.

An Arizona native, Baker was living in the UK when he decided to enroll in the inaugural class of the TRIUM Global Executive MBA Program, which offers a curriculum that blends a world-class business education from three prominent universities: NYU Stern, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and HEC School of Management, Paris. “I chose the program because of its global perspective on business,” he said, “and because it allowed me to tap into three excellent educational systems. I am very grateful for my experience at NYU Stern. I have been able to use most of my lessons in my business career and refer back to them often.”

Time is a favorite hobby of Baker’s: He is a horologist and a collector of clocks. When he is not punching Boeing’s clock, he enjoys spending his hours with his wife and five children.

Managing With Style

Christine Morena (BS ’76, MBA ’81)

Avid about fashion, Christine Morena never dreamed she would be paid to spend her days at Saks. The Executive Vice President of Human Resources for Saks Inc., Morena found herself there thanks to a career marked by flexibility and willingness to roll with the punches. “The rate of change in the world is so frequent that the plan you set forth today may be one that you can never implement,” she shared. “You have to be open to learning, growing, and experiencing the world around you if you want to be successful.”

Morena, a double degree holder from NYU Stern, joined Saks after a successful 28-year run at AT&T, where she began her career following her 1976 graduation from Stern’s Undergraduate College. When she accepted the AT&T position, she was one of very few females in a male-dominated field. “As a woman in an engineering-orientated company, it was all about trying to look and act like your male counterparts,” she recalled. “You never wanted your colleagues to think ‘she’s not really serious about her career because she’s married or she has children.’” In contrast, today’s organizations support women and offer many work-life balance initiatives. “Although, there’s still the issue of the glass ceiling,” Morena noted.

At AT&T, Morena was able to build her career in a cross-functional way, working in sales, product management, marketing, and, finally, human resources. AT&T was committed to a philosophy of placing people in positions in which they had little experience in order to make them well rounded. “I was able to continuously grow and develop my skills to become a general manager and senior leader in the company,” Morena said. When she left AT&T as Senior Vice President of Human Resources, Morena was responsible for the strategic support of 40,000 people in 60 countries.

In 2007, armed with impressive career experience, a solid business education – now including a Stern MBA – and her love of shopping, Morena transitioned to Saks. “I value my time at Stern,” she said. “It set me on not only a solid career path, but also on my personal path – I met my husband during my undergraduate career, and our daughter earned her undergraduate degree from Stern in 2007,” she said.

Today, in appreciation of her Stern experience, Morena volunteers as a mentor for students in the Undergraduate College. “When I was in the program at Stern, most of my classmates and I were focused on working in finance,” she said. “One of the ideas I try to instill in current students is to think outside the box – be open to and embrace the unknown.”

Man with a Plan

George W. Madison
(BS ’75)

When George W. Madison enrolled in the undergraduate program at NYU, he already had a personal business plan up his sleeve for becoming a senior executive at a major investment firm. He knew that he was going to have to work hard if he wanted to play in the big leagues.

During his first semester at NYU, as a history and political science student, he applied for an entry-level accounting job at a small publishing firm to pay for tuition. But he had never taken an accounting course. “I went to the NYU bookstore and bought an accounting book so that I could speak knowledegably during the interview,” he said. Madison spent the next two years maintaining a full course load while working full time. At the end of his sophomore year, he transferred to Stern. “It just made more sense with my professional background,” he explained. After graduation, Madison went on to further his education by obtaining both an MBA and a JD from Columbia University.

After law school, he clerked for the Honorable Nathaniel R. Jones at the US Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit in Cincinnati, then did a stint at Shearman & Sterling as an associate. In 1987, he joined Mayer, Brown & Platt, where he became the first African-American elected to Partner. In 1997, Madison had an opportunity to put his business degree to greater use as Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Corporate Secretary at Comerica. He was then recruited for a similar role at TIAA-CREF in 2003. “My background shaped who I am – there was always someone significant at each stage of my life to mentor me,” he said.

With his recent nomination as General Counsel at the Department of Treasury by President Obama, Madison has the opportunity to work for his greatest mentors – the President and Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner. “I knew I wanted to take on this challenge when I was recruited,” he said. “The world economy was faltering, and major banks were collapsing. I thought of my children asking me [in the future], ‘Daddy, what did you do to help?’ I wanted to help stabilize the financial system and reinvigorate the economy.”

As General Counsel, Madison will manage approximately 2,000 lawyers and 1,600 staff members. Together, he and his team confront, head-on, the legal issues the government faces in the current financial crisis, a broad range that includes the public debt; revenue and customs laws; international and domestic economic, monetary, and financial affairs; and law enforcement and the financial war on terror. “The Treasury is essentially the CFO of the government, and we need to ensure that the causes of the crisis are addressed, the holes in financial regulation are plugged, and that everything related is secure so that this doen’t happen again,” he declared.

When Madison isn’t at the Treasury, he enjoys spending his time with his two daughters. And when he can, he heads to the “green” for a quick round of golf.
