Who is the supply chain professional who recently became the highest-earning woman in Jeopardy’s history?
Julia Collins.
The 31-year-old from Wilmette, Ill., obtained her master’s degree from MIT’s Supply Chain Management Program in 2010. She received a double-bachelor’s degree in art history and history at Wellesley College.
She won more than $428,000 in 20 consecutive games on the game show earlier this year.
Published reports said she’s in the midst of a career transition, so it’s not clear that she’ll remain a supply chain management consultant.
