Bio
Wessam Daoud, PhD, PE, PMP, MBA
I had the pleasure of working with Katharine throughout my two years at Anderson as a team partner and a friend. I always considered myself lucky to have Katharine as part of my team. She is focused, goal oriented, and driven. I knew that nothing will be left out; the task will get done and will get done right. That’s why I was excited when we were able to work together on the Strategic Management Research Project during the last 6 months in the MBA program. The project involved preparing a business plan for a surgical Training facility in Ghana which is sponsored by J&J. Katharine was a pivotal member for the success of this project through her contribution to the secondary and primary research and the business plan. I strongly believe Katharine will be a great asset to any organization that she chooses to join.

I had the pleasure of working extensively with Katharine during our two year MBA program at UCLA/Anderson. Areas of collaborated include finance, marketing, forecasting, economics, strategy and statistics. Katherine is a team player and very smart. From January thru June of 2009 we worked together on a project for Johnson & Johnson by researching and then traveling to and evaluating an advanced surgical training facility in Accra, Ghana. We then put together and extensive businesses plan to help the center achieve self-sufficiency. Johnson & Johnson was extremely happy with the work and Katherine was a huge part of that success. I heartily endorse Katharine to anyone lucky enough to work with her.
