18 | Living The Dream as an Intern at IBM

In this episode of The Inflection Point, I dive into an interesting conversation with Omer Syed. Omer is a fourth year undergraduate student at the Alberta School of Business. He is specializing in Business Technology Management (formerly known as Management Information Systems) with a potential minor in Computer Science. During his time at university, Omer has been involved with various student clubs, including the Alberta International Business Competition, Business Students’ Association, Next-Gen and others. He’s completed two Teaching assistant terms for two undergraduate courses - BUS 201 and BTM 311, as well as two co-op terms at the City of Edmonton. He is currently working at IBM as a Technology Sales Intern. With dozens of case competitions and an international one in Montreal under his belt, he has  a unique passion for analyzing business problems and addressing them in front of an audience. In his free time, he likes to play soccer with his buddies, take cooking lessons from his mom or go for hikes on the beautiful trails in the heart of our rocky mountains. He intends to graduate in December 2024, and is looking to travel to Korea through a potential exchange program before heading into the world of tech.  We hope you enjoy listening to today's episode of The Inflection Point!
