Geoffrey Webster

Roanoke, TX

Pursuing a doctorate degree opened my mind to new adventures

Dr. Geoffrey Webster was working as a process improvement executive at an electronics distributor when he was told that his team was being combined with training and some positions were being eliminated. This event motivated him to enroll in the doctorate program at the University of Management and Technology.

Geoffrey graduated with a high GPA and left his employer to expand the services of his personal consulting firm. His new knowledge helped him to establish innovative strategic partnerships to attract business from new clients. Geoffrey's contribution to his new alliances have positioned him to be a prime business development resource and lead program manager for large accounts.

Since his graduation, Geoffrey has supported non-profits pro bono, coached executives of various types of firms to be more effective in running their businesses, and performed assessments on individuals helping them to have a better understanding of how they operate and why in order to improve their overall ability to influence favorable outcomes. In addition, Geoffrey's research has been published by three prestigious organizations: Scrum Alliance, Project Management Institute, and the American Society for Quality.

"I was very impressed with the University of Management and Technology having the only doctorate degree program globally accredited by the Project Management Institute among DEAC accredited schools. From this, I knew their program along with their reputation of being a developer of talent would guide me to making a valuable contribution to society."
