Gold for JMSB at SECOR-KPMG Strategix!
A team of undergraduate students from Concordia University’s John Molson School of Business (JMSB) won gold at the 2013 SECOR-KPMG Strategix competition hosted by HEC Montréal on February 15. The team was made of of Aurelie Tzeuton, Kristina McCaughey, Phuong Thao Nguyen and Gabriel Millard and was coached by Haig Tachejian.
The JMSB team’s performance is truly remarkable given that the members were confirmed only a week before the event. The team held three preparation sessions within a 5-day period prior to the competition.
The annual competition is a one-day event that begins at 7 a.m. and ends at 7 p.m. It consists of a preliminary round that includes twelve teams and a final round that features only the top four performers from the preliminaries. In both rounds, teams are provided with four copies of a 30-page case and a laptop, and are given two hours to prepare a 15-minute presentation.
The final results were:
- John Molson School of Business, Concordia University
- Université du Québec en Outaouais
- HEC Montréal
- HEC Montréal
The John Molson Competition Committee (JMCC) would like to thank coach Haig Tachejian for the tremendous job he did preparing this team for the competition.
The JMCC would like to extend a special thanks to Head Coach and Advisor to the Competition Program, Mark Haber, for his commitment and contribution to the program.
The team would also like to express its deepest gratitude to exclusive title partner Pfizer Canada for their support and encouragement of the case competition program.
