Rising Through the Ranks

aroline Elliott, a 2020 finance graduate from Auburn University, has no limit on her future success. After working as a credit analyst intern, she quickly realized it wasn’t the right fit. A go-getter by nature, she turned to her former professor, Dr. Emory Serviss, for guidance on how to break into the sales industry. She went on to land a role at ADP, where she quickly rose to the top, earning President’s Club honors in her first year, an achievement reserved only for the company’s highest performing sales representatives.

Feeling called to help others, she decided it was time to dip a toe into the field of medical device sales. Starting a position at Stryker, one of the world’s leading medical technology companies, Elliott spent three years soaking up as much knowledge as possible.

(’20, Finance) Executive Director Premier Imaging

Yet, the dream of starting her own business was still calling. When she got the chance to join Premier Imaging, a South Carolina-based startup, as their executive director, Elliott knew it was an opportunity she couldn’t pass up. Leading a group of imaging centers in South Carolina and functioning as their sales and marketing head, she still finds time to engage with her alma mater. “I would absolutely not be anywhere today without Auburn and the Harbert College of Business.”

She is proud to serve as a student resource for Dr. Serviss’ marketing class and is currently collaborating with three Auburn University students in the development of a social media marketing app.
