Kent Inglehart’s career in business management

Kent Inglehart, MBA'12 and general manager for Dr. Tavel Optical Group, always had a passion for business. His 3/2 MBA experience at the Kelley School of Business transformed that passion into the foundation for his career success.

Description of the video:

Keith Inglehart: I've always had a passion for doing business. When I did 3/2, I felt like I came out with a raw set of analytical skills. I came out with the fundamentals of business. I've used those basic building-block skills to be able to achieve the success that I've had in business thus far. The idea of integrating an MBA into my undergrad education seemed really appealing to me, and you come out more qualified than if you had just gotten your undergraduate degree. Dr. Tavel Family Eye Care is a 75-year-old Indiana-owned and -operated retailer of eyewear goods and services. My job at Dr. Tavel entails basically everything that you could possibly imagine in a business, so finance, marketing, human resources, running our optical lab, our retail locations. Anything required for us to run our business is something that I'm involved in. Business is a series of personal interactions and decisions driven by a solid analysis, solid human interaction skills, and I think those are things that I learned in 3/2 which will help me be successful regardless of the business environment.
