Name:\u00a0<\/strong>Rusmir Musi\u0107<\/p>\n

Class Year:<\/strong> 2001<\/p>\n

Title\/Company:<\/strong>\u00a0Global Business Development Lead for the EDGE Green Buildings Market Transformation Program<\/p>\n

1. In one sentence, what does your job entail?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am the Global Business Development Lead for the EDGE Green Buildings Market Transformation Program, an initiative by the World Bank Group to raise awareness around benefits of green construction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. What were you involved in when you were on campus?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I was an RA for Alumni and Senior RA for Hanselman; I was heavily involved with Allies and ABiGaLe, including serving as co-chair; I also did behind the scenes work and producing for ACT – Alternate College Theatre.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. What was your major and how did it affect your career decisions?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I majored in Chemistry but I had a well rounded curriculum in humanities, including almost being a minor in religious studies. I left the sciences behind for a period of time and worked as a career counselor, but then returned back to my job at the World Bank, where I work in the climate business department. The major has prepared me with a great work ethic and an understanding of sciences needed for doing business in the new, clean economy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. What planned and unplanned events connected you to your industry and your first employer after Holy Cross? How did you learn\/decide it was a good fit for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Immediately after Holy Cross, I worked in higher education, with connections from my student involvement as an RA and later as a Graduate Housing Assistant. I decided to switch careers and focus more on sustainability, so I enrolled in an MBA program at Georgetown. During the MBA, I heavily networked with professionals in the DC area, whom I was meeting through referrals. One of those meetings led to a job offer at the World Bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

5. What are one or two skills that you developed at Holy Cross that you use in your work?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I approach problem-solving like I approached my Chemistry labs – you figure out where you think you need to be and you work backwards, figuring out what ‘ingredients’ and what ‘reactions’ you need to implement along the way. I also learned a lot about interpersonal dynamics – my RA position taught me how to better read people, how to be comfortable with public speaking, and how to influence group consensus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
