Hi, my name is Max Weiss. I am from Crown Point,
Indiana and a student in the Kelley School of
Business at Indiana University. My niche is supply
chain management and information & process
management. I seek out inefficiencies and
leverage technology to reduce cost while
improving quality and delivery. I am very
involved on campus: I am the president of
Corporate Strategy Club, a technical team
consultant for IU’s information technology
department, and a case study pioneer. I seek a
company where I can: create value, be valued, and
make a difference in peoples’ lives.
