Gonzalo's story

MBA candidate Gonzalo Rodriguez immersed himself in a new culture and built meaningful relationships that helped him grow personally and professionally while working in Taiwan over the summer of 2026.

"I built Aiello's five-year financial model and a dashboard on top of it, pulling the company's NetSuite and HubSpot data into live revenue, cost, and cash projections plus a monthly finance report. I also helped build the Series A investor deck and evaluated investor's term sheets."

"The internship lined up directly with my medium/long-term goals after the MBA. I want to work with early-stage companies, whether on the investing side or in an operating role, and this gave me a hands-on view of how a startup raises money and makes decisions under real uncertainty."
