Amber Sleichter

Amber joins the Grainger Center after working for the University of North Carolina system in Fayetteville State University’s IT department. As a technology support analyst, she was responsible for the entire technical integration of over 60 classrooms. Keeping with the university’s goals to enhance distance learning to military students and reduce costs, Amber spearheaded research and development of video conferencing–enhanced classrooms and virtual seats for deployed students. Amber also led the procurement of a new campus television provider, saving the university over $65,000 each year.

Amber graduated from Hofstra University with a BA degree in video and television production. As an undergraduate, she was the lead producer for senior-level television programming and brought those skills to the public in the form of four public affairs shows that aired on the WB45 in Albany, New York. She has also worked for MTV, Viacom Networks, Sony Pictures International, PBS, and Disney. Amber is excited to be a part of the Wisconsin MBA program. She plans to combine her television production and technology expertise with the skills learned at the Grainger Center to lead supply chain innovation in the high-tech industry.
