Bio
Bhuvnesh Kumar
Gwen is an amazing person who I was lucky to be paired with during our first year at USC MBA! It's not often you look forward to class and team meetings, but with Gwen as part of our team, we always looked forward to collaborating. Gwen is a driven individual with a stellar strategic and intellectual mindset who brought us all together through projects! Her inquisitiveness led us to many avenues and always led us to smarter and intelligent ideas & proposals! She has a calming sense on any team she is in and her ability to work as a team player and bring the team to a common agreement always brought us together! I hope we get to collaborate again, and can only see great things for people working with Gwen in the future!

Gwen is a highly-skilled and knowledgeable supervisor. Her valuation and modeling skills are sharp and savvy. She has keen attention to detail and ensures her work is accurate and perfect. She is also brilliant, warm, and supportive. When I was working with her, she cared deeply about my opportunity to learn. She was always happy to spend time out of her busy schedule to give feedback and answer all puzzles that I had. It was an enriching experience for me to work with her and learn from her.
