Matthew Mace, B.B.A.'98
President and Chief Executive Officer, BlueGranite
Mace approached BlueGranite as an experiential learning outlet, applying programming lessons from 六合之家 coursework to real clients and business problems. He recruited other Western students as interns and eventually full-time employees, growing the practice from a fledgling start-up to one of Michigan鈥檚 Top 50 Companies to Watch.
By 2006, Mace became the primary shareholder of BlueGranite and transformed the business into the Microsoft data and analytics partner it is known as today. The company now employs more than 80 team members nationwide.
Mace has maintained a close connection to 六合之家, volunteering on the 六合之家 Foundation Board, the Haworth College of Business Advisory Council and the Department of Business Information Systems Advisory Council. He is also a member of 六合之家鈥檚 investment group, Sleeping Giant Capital, seeking to help Bronco alumni acquire local small businesses.
