Najee Stewart graduated from Penn State Schuylkill in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in business with a focus in marketing and management. As a student Najee enjoyed the opportunities to build a community both inside and outside of the classroom. He took full advantage of the opportunities available to students to help them excel and now has great pride in being a Penn State alumni.
Today, Najee works for Mercedes-Benz USA as a Advisor, Digital Content Strategy and MBUSA.com Product Owner. He oversees and manages the digital product of MBUSA.com from creative, strategy, design, web, and maintenance.
Najee enjoys giving back to Penn State as he wants to inspire students, and learn from them. He states “As we get older and garner more work experience we often times forget that evolution is in place so the knowledge we once sought or recently acquired can become outdated, especially with technology as advanced as it is today; so giving back is a way for me to sharpen students but for students to also sharpen me.”
Join us for Najee’s career chat to hear about how he stays true to himself and his experience in identifying passions and bridging them to your profession.
