UC Davis MBA alumnus Jesse Rosales summits K2, the world's second highest peak—and credits project management skills gained from his MBA. From a business perspective, the summit was his strategic objective, the climbing expedition his management project, and each leg of the climb was one in a long series of process-oriented goals. Rosales is in product management for biopesticides for the agribusiness arm of Wilbur-Ellis, based in Denver, Colo.
