Kristen Brauer

I obtained my bachelor’s degree in finance from Xavier University prior to earning a CPA certificate for accounting courses at Northwestern University. In my most recent role with retail, ecommerce, and manufacturing operations, I led post-acquisition integrations and managed the implementation of the company’s first ERP. I also have experience working with strategic and private equity firms for financial due diligence reviews and I have held a variety of roles in banking, including in the areas of treasury management and enterprise risk. Working with teams across departments and companies inspired me to broaden my understanding of supply chain management and optimization for complex businesses – I began this journey with the MicroMasters courses on EdX and I am excited to continue learning at MIT!
