CO-OP LEADS TO DREAM JOB FOR CONLEY

In this age of rapidly evolving technology and remarkable advancement, networking is a tool like no other. Steve Conley can vouch for that.

Seven years ago, the 1992 graduate of Northeastern University’s College of Engineering was working in the information technology field for a company struggling to stay afloat when he decided to reconnect with a person whom he’d met during his last cooperative education experience.

That interaction eventually helped lead Conley to Yawkey Way, where the Foxboro, MA, resident is now able to do a job he loves for a team he grew up rooting for: the Boston Red Sox.

“The timing couldn’t have been more perfect,” said Conley, the Red Sox’ Director of Information Technology. “About one month after I started with the Red Sox the IT bubble completely burst. I found myself in a stable position with a company that was looking to completely revamp its IT infrastructure. Six months later, the company I had been working for was no longer in business.”
