Katie Buehner Army veteran Katie Buehner, a former Black Hawk helicopter pilot, has found a new and rewarding career path in the medical profession. Buehner&＃8217;s professional and personal journey from serving in the Army to creating a new business venture has recently been featured in both&＃160;The Denver Business Journal&＃160;and&＃160;The National Business Journal. Buehner&＃8217;s accomplishments cross the educational, military and healthcare sectors.&＃160; An alumnus of Olin&＃8217;s Executive MBA program (EMBA), Buehner served ten years in the Army as a Black Hawk pilot. Her husband is a fellow army aviator and she did not originally intend on leaving the Army, but family responsibilities took priority. With three kids ranging from ages one to four, a pending assignment to Germany for six months provided a milestone moment for Buehner. She chose to care for her young children stateside, and in so doing, that pivotal moment opened the door for a career-changing opportunity, earning her MBA degree via WashU&＃8217;s EMBA program. While at WashU, Buehner took advantage of the rich business school network by meeting and eventually partnering with fellow classmate, John Spranger and his wife Erin. The team focused on the need for staffing nurses to local medical offices, clinics and hospitals. Meeting demand for nursing supply, their company,&＃160;Presto Staffing, benefits both its clients and its talent. By permitting flexible scheduling, the firm naturally draws nurses who search for alternative schedules to help their work-life balance, while also serving a growing healthcare industry. Notably, with a revenue of $260,000 since opening in July 2016, Presto Staffing had a 150 percent growth rate, between September and December of that same year.&＃160; A May 2017 EMBA graduate, Buehner applies her &＃8220;operational background&＃8221; to a role that also allows her to manage her own flexible schedule while focusing on essential time with her family. Buehener credits her journey through EMBA with connecting her to the business realm, pointing out that the &＃8220;classes are&＃8230; comprised of experienced professionals.&＃8221;&＃160; Through molding her in-depth military operations experience with her acquired real-world business knowledge and connections at WashU, Buehner is looking forward to the next chapter of her joint venture.
