Miles Putnam

I serve on the investment committee for a local money manager. Our firm invests about $300 million for about 200 clients. Half our client base comes from Michigan, with the other half peppered across the country. Our main focus is domestic growth equities. We also have a growing business in municipal bonds. I mainly follow companies in the retail and technology sectors.
 
There's more money in Southeast Michigan than people often assume. The auto industry made a lot of people rich over the years, and a good amount of that money is still here. The investment finance industry isn't nearly as developed here as, say, Chicago, but I'd bet that it's on the way up.

Jason Schnaidt

I work alongside the interactive marketing specialist to create effective and unique online marketing strategies. Managing and updating our various clients’ social media platforms, including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, with content is a daily task. Additionally, I generate keyword driven content, including blogs, and optimize them throughout client websites. I don't look at it as work because of how much fun and enjoyment I get out of it. Core3 is a great company to work for - everyone is hard working and dedicated, but most of all we have fun and love what we do.

Radio Disney is the local marketing arm of The Walt Disney Company. By leveraging powerhouse Disney assets across multiple platforms, including the Disney Channel, Disney Pictures, Disney Junior and more, Radio Disney creates positive on-site experiences for Metro Detroit Families aligned with internationally recognized and beloved content!
 
Not many people can truly say that they love their job, so I know that I am extremely fortunate that I do. In my position, I am in charge of all marketing, events and promotions in the Detroit market. I began working at The Walt Disney Company through an internship at Walt Disney World immediately after graduating college. I returned home to Detroit and began working part-time in the Promotion Department at Radio Disney while holding other various marketing positions in the area. When the opportunity to move into my current position presented itself, everything fell into place. I am lucky enough to work with amazing people and for a brand that I am passionate about. The best part of my job is the ability to bring the magic of Disney to our local Families – the pure joy and excitement that they experience makes all of the hard work worth it!

David W. Swatosh

Prior to obtaining the job at Rehmann, I worked for a small CPA firm that performed basic accounting, consulting and tax functions.  My desires to focus solely on tax lead me to Rehmann where I work in the tax consulting group. The majority of my time is spent assisting companies of all sizes and industries calculate and document the Research and Development Tax Credit incentive.  Other specialties that I am involved with are Energy tax incentives and general Federal tax compliance for individuals and businesses.  I work directly with Owners, CFO's, Controllers, Tax Directors and Employees to learn about their business and understand the new and improved products that are currently under development.  
 
I came to Rehmann for many reasons including, better opportunities to flourish as a CPA, a great work-life balance so I can spend time with my wife and four kids, but most of all Rehmann is a Michigan company.  It was founded in Saginaw, MI in 1941 and has grown all throughout Michigan the "right way," meaning, bigger is not always better.  Additionally, as I am finding out the people who work for Rehmann are great all the way from the professional support staff to the Principals.   
 
I chose to focus on taxation because I feel that my consulting can add value to Rehmann's clients by managing their tax attributes and that gives me the satisfaction that I helped the client instead of merely inputting numbers into a form or producing a financial statement.  Being an advisor to clients and focusing on client relationships is key to the success of any business.

Allyson McLean

I was lucky enough to move back to Michigan in 2011 as part of the Detroit Revitalization Fellows Program, a network of professionals working to build capacity, foster collaboration, and accelerate progress across organizations engaged in revitalizing Detroit. As part of this program, I am employed by the Community Investment Support Fund (CISF), a non-profit subsidiary of Larson Realty Group. CISF is an emerging Community Development Financial Institution, providing below-market-rate loans as well as technical assistance to non-profit organizations that serve low-income communities.

My job is incredibly rewarding, allowing me to work with institutions that enhance the livability of our community and develop creative capital structures that ensures their sustainability. A major component of my position involves actively fundraising to capitalize the fund that allows CISF to make these investments into community projects. In my day to day work, I also draw from skills developed during my two years with a management consulting firm in Washington, DC, which have become useful in finding solutions for CISF's clients and to develop our organizational capacity.

I spent two years working in economic development in Pittsburgh, a city often described as being a model for Detroit, but always intended to bring lessons learned there back to Michigan as I build my career. I couldn't ask to be in Detroit at a better time or to be exposed to a more inspiring network of individuals working to make a difference in our community.

Marisa Bell

I first became interested in becoming a QA analyst while in college. I had a few courses in Software Testing and one of my teachers was also QA Analyst. I really enjoyed the meticulous detail that went into the job and I really enjoyed all the documentation that went along with it. I have been doing QA for 5+ years now and it is still a very satisfying career. As a Quality Assurance analyst, you are responsible for making sure that all services and products are of quality and meet the client needs.  I was born and raised here in the Detroit Metro area and while I did move away for a while to live in Atlanta, GA. I returned not long ago to finally settle down here. That was always the plan and always my goal. I know there is a lot of skepticism about finding work here in the metro area, but I did not have that problem and I found a lot of work when I returned. I actually found my current job by applying on craigslist.org. I’m working as a Quality Assurance analyst at MRM Worldwide. I have been working here for about 5 months. I really enjoy working here not only because of the location which is in the beautiful city of Birmingham, MI right in the downtown area. But also because of our products. It is very exciting to be able to see and work with some of the most cutting edge technology that we use every day. It’s very enjoyable and I never get bored!

Diana Shkreli

I am a junior attorney in a busy immigration law firm. I decided that I would be well situated to the field of immigration law because of my background and the opportunity working in this position would allow me to connect with my community here in Metro Detroit. I recently moved back into the area after living in the Lansing area for a few years and was thrilled to find something close to Detroit and the area I grew up around. I took a step outside the box and decided to draft a cover letter that really connected with why I wanted to be an Immigration Attorney and how I thought I would be well suited for the area. I had little experience in the Immigration Law Field and knew it would be a long shot but I sent my resume around to what seemed like every Immigration Attorney and Law Firm in the Detroit area. Instantly responses of support, and regret that there were no opportunities flowed in, as well as some requests for more information and eventually interviews. I was willing to start at the bottom and work my way up, having little experience and just starting out in the legal profession I was ready to do what I had to do, especially in this economy. I am currently working at a busy and knowledgeable Immigration Law Firm in Farmington Hills, Michigan. We serve clients in a variety of Immigration law related issues. From family based to corporate immigration law and we can provide our services worldwide, which was very appealing to me.

The Senior Attorneys at my firm have more than 20 years experience and have been great in offering me comprehensive training and opportunity for professional growth. I am very happy with my decision to remain in Metro Detroit, and look forward to the opportunity to grow as a young professional with this great state and metropolitan area.

I was very excited to have the opportunity to interview with CIBER. I found the position posted on LinkedIn and had my fingers crossed since my recruiting background was not in IT. I was very blessed to have received an offer and excited to start a new recruiting adventure! As a recruiter with CIBER I work on a team with twenty plus recruiters across the US. I am responsible for recruiting top notch IT professionals across a wide range of areas in the Technology industry. My job involves a lot more than waiting for someone to apply to a job posting. If I want to be successful, I need to go out and find the talent CIBER is looking for. I love what I do; it is a challenge, it is competitive and I get to meet new people every day. It is a great feeling when I match a candidate to their career!

I chose to work for CIBER because the company is growing, the office environment is cool, it is global, and it is full of innovative, talented, hard working fun people. At CIBER initiative, creativity and hard work will take an employee as far as we want to go! The company encourages new ideas, new approaches, and new abilities and believes an entrepreneurial atmosphere is a part of what makes a company a highly motivating place to work. It is never boring here!  Luckily, CIBER has an office in Southfield; I am a huge advocate of rebuilding Detroit and have no desire to leave Michigan anytime soon. There is so much going on in the city of Detroit right now and Michigan is an absolutely beautiful state.

As a Health and Benefits Consultant the main function of my job is to analyze and suggest insurance options and alternatives to our clients based on their specific wants and needs. Although Aon is a global corporation, the Southfield Health and Benefits office consists of only eight individuals. Working with such a small group has given me the opportunity to get one-on-one attention from experts in the field and expand my knowledge of the industry immensely. My favorite part about working as a consultant is the constant interaction I have with clients and the ability to assist them in the often confusing and ever-changing world of employee benefits.
