Spotlight
Mr. Gorman is a Group Product Manager at Black and Decker Corporation.

From nail guns, table saws and cordless drills to the advantages of an MBA degree, Mike Gorman knows the value of power tools  especially in the highly competitive world of Black & Decker, where talent is rewarded and professionals move up fast. So when he went looking for a program that would help him make the cut, he chose Loyola’s because it has long been recognized as one of the premier business schools in the area.

“I felt getting an MBA was the best way for me to round out my real world experience so that I can move into new positions more quickly.” His view is that as a business professional, “You can ‘do.’ Or you can ‘be.’ I don’t just want to ‘be’ a senior executive. I want to ‘do’ things nobody else has done. Lead and mentor everyone on my team. Make business decisions that move the company forward. Loyola’s motto is “Strong truths well lived.’ And thanks in part to my Loyola MBA, that’s what I’m going to be able to achieve.”
