Intern Spotlight: Kai Snyder
Joining our Operations Team for the summer is Kai Snyder. Kai is a rising Sophomore in the Honors program and an Innovation Scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Business Administration with a double emphasis in Consulting and Multinational Finance and double minoring in Data Science and Entrepreneurship. As a young entrepreneur, he founded and ran a Washington-licensed business in the service sector and secured a small financial grant through a business case competition sponsored by the Bellevue Chamber of Commerce. This experience allowed him to help North Carolina clients improve their marketing campaigns and expand their media reach by serving as a business analyst through the UNC Chapter of Consult Your Community.
Having grown up in Bellevue, Washington, Kai enjoys the natural landscapes and urban attractions of the Pacific Northwest. He hopes to further explore his interests in sustainability and technology through consulting and entrepreneurship in the future. Kai likes to exercise, play chess, and enjoy various genres of music in his free time.
