Kris Irizawa
Graduate, UBC Award of Achievement in Web Analytics
With a degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Irvine (UCI), Kris Irizawa had left the U.S. during the dot-com crash to take a position with Merrill Lynch in Japan. However, he was soon interested in the growth of the Internet as a business tool and decided to expand his knowledge by taking the 100% online UBC Award of Achievement in Web Analytics.
"Because the UBC program is facilitated by experts in the field, I gained the practical knowledge and basis to start a career in web analytics. I felt confident that I could get a job back home with my new skill set," recalls Kris.
Kris is currently a senior web analyst with the consumer technology firm Logitech, located in Fremont, California. "I enjoy working with experts globally, and being able to work with teams who use the data and my analysis to drive their business and meet their goals," says Kris.
Kris's future career plans include diversifying his analytics skills offline to focus on different marketing channels, and he is considering taking the Certificate in Web Intelligence.
