I’m a Boston local with a BS in Business Management, SCM & Operations.  I have 5 years of experience in Healthcare, most recently at Boston Children’s Hospital in Materials Management Information Systems.  It is the honor of a lifetime to be part of the SCM Class of 2025 – a cohort of incredibly talented people that make MIT the place to be.  Here, my mission is to continue gaining experience that allows me to grow on a personal, professional, and academic level.  In life, I enjoy playing guitar, golf, being active outdoors, and exploring the planet with family and friends.  Go Sox!

Hi, my name is Anthony Saunders and I am from Houston, Texas. My prior education includes graduating from Texas A&M University, where I received my undergraduate degree in supply chain management and my master’s in management information systems. I previously worked at Deloitte Consulting, focusing primarily on sourcing and procurement work. In my free time, I love trying new restaurants, enjoying memes, and making friendships. I love Boston and have really valued learning alongside some truly wonderful and amazing individuals from across the world!

Born and raised in Toronto, I am an avid Toronto sports fan (there’s always next year) and enjoy playing hockey and basketball. I am excited to learn how to row on the Charles River and am always up for an outdoor adventure. 

After graduating from Queen’s University with a Bachelor of Commerce I worked for the luxury outerwear brand, Sentaler. Reporting to the founder/owner, I was responsible for driving growth through an international omni-channel strategy effectively scaling, optimizing and integrating the e-commerce, retail, wholesale, marketing, procurement, fulfillment and customer care functions. I learned first-hand the opportunities and challenges that come with international growth and applied them in my next role at Passport Shipping. Passport is an international shipping carrier and technology provider, helping brands go global, easily. I served as a key liaison for top-performing 3PL accounts, ensuring their adoption and growth through operational excellence and a seamless experience.

I am excited to be a student again and am looking forward to connecting with my new classmates while exploring the many opportunities that Cambridge and MIT have to offer!
