Hastings College graduate Blake Tyrell is making waves in the financial technology industry at Fiserv, a leading global provider of innovative payment and technology solutions that drive commerce and connect businesses, financial institutions and consumers worldwide.
As a corporate analyst in Fiserv’s Global Analyst Program, Tyrell, a 2022 graduate, is immersed in a fast-paced environment where he’s tasked with developing innovative solutions, providing strategic advice and supporting critical business operations. His diverse skill set, honed through his international relations major and Spanish minor, equips him to excel in this multifaceted role.
“Every day brings new challenges and opportunities,” Tyrell said. “From collaborating with cross-functional teams to analyzing complex data, I’m constantly learning and growing.”
A key aspect of Tyrell’s role involves bridging the gap between finance and sales. He works closely with various departments, including finance, sales, billing, product management, legal and leadership, to optimize pricing strategies and drive revenue growth.
Beyond his core responsibilities, Tyrell said he actively seeks out opportunities to improve operational efficiency and streamline processes. His fresh perspective and analytical skills have proven invaluable in identifying areas for improvement.
Tyrell credits his success at Fiserv to the strong foundation he built at Hastings College. “The diverse curriculum, supportive faculty and engaging extracurricular activities prepared me well for the challenges of the professional world,” he said. “The analytical and research skills I developed in my coursework are directly applicable to my daily work.”
The connections he forged during his time at Hastings have also played a significant role in his career trajectory. A referral from a fellow HC graduate opened doors to opportunities at Fiserv, and the strong network he cultivated continues to support his professional growth.
As Tyrell continues to advance his career at Fiserv, he’s excited about the opportunities to learn, grow and contribute to the company’s success. He said he’s also eager to explore the vibrant Omaha community with his fiancée.
