Happy holiday season from the D'Amore-McKim School of Business Cooperative Education Team! As we look ahead to 2024, our team thanks our employer partners for their continued support of our program and students. Your support resulted in nearly 2,000 co-op students working across 430 companies in 2023, and we couldn't have done it without YOU!

Class of 2015

D'Amore-McKim School of Business

B.S. Business Administration

Concentrations: Finance & Accounting

M.B.A. Technology Entrepreneurship

Robbie works in Enterprise IT Sales at IBM and is responsible for five of IBM's top 50 Banking and Insurance customers.

How did your co-op experiences prepare you to make an impact in your full-time roles?

The Northeastern Co-op program played a major role in getting me to where I am today as a top client representative in AI for IBM’s Financial Services sector. My co-op journey began at State Street Bank where I participated in three separate co-ops. Each co-op provided me with the foundation I needed to understand real-world business and gave me an advantage when applying to the highly competitive Finance Rotational Program at State Street Bank. After the State Street program, I moved into Sales for the fintech branch of State Street (Alpha), obtained my MBA part-time at Northeastern, and then moved to IBM IT Sales for Financial Services.

My multi-year co-op journey at State Street Bank allowed me to work in a variety of roles including Relationship Management, Sales, Compliance, Fund Accounting, Financial Reporting, Investment Management, Operations, and Business Analyst – all of which have been instrumental to where I am today in my career, managing relationships with IBM’s banking and insurance customers.

What suggestions do you have for employer to ensure a smooth recruiting process with students?

My advice is to maintain transparency and communication with your Northeastern Co-op Coordinator throughout the recruitment process. The recruitment cycle is often a busy and overwhelming time for both students and employers. Students are excited and driven to send out applications and receive responses, while employers often have many applications to review. Your Co-op Coordinator will offer you the opportunity to ask questions, provide feedback, or discuss any challenges in the process. Your co-op contact can also support you in tailoring your job description to attract students, help you stay on track with the recruitment timeline, and promote your roles to qualified candidates.

I also recommend exploring opportunities to connect on campus to meet candidates or address student questions directly. Our employer partners are always welcome to engage with our Northeastern community!
