Maya Rao
MBA Candidate - Strategy & Growth

I turn cases into clear moves.

An MBA student exploring strategy, consumer insight and growth. My portfolio is a reel of questions, frameworks and decisions - not just a list of classes.

The signal I chase

Business is a pattern-recognition game.

I like the messy middle: turning ambiguous customer behavior into a sharp problem statement, testing the economics, then making the recommendation simple enough to act on.

Three decisions, three lenses.

CASE 01 · GROWTH

Campus-to-commerce

Mapped a Gen-Z acquisition funnel and proposed a referral loop that lifted modeled conversion by 18%.

CASE 02 · STRATEGY

Premium, not pricey

Segmented 9 competitors and built a value ladder for a premium personal-care launch.

CASE 03 · OPERATIONS

The last-mile puzzle

Used process mapping to identify two bottlenecks and redesigned the service blueprint.

Learning in motion

From classroom frameworks to real decisions.
