She has worked closely with management teams and boards in organizations of all sizes, providing guidance in finance and operations. She also holds a PhD in Physics from Caltech and a MBA from Pepperdine University.

“There are two things that set me apart,” said Dr. Belz during her interview. “One is that I do have a background in both research and in business, so I have seen every element in both the creative process but I also know how to speak the language of finical statements. I think that another part of it is that I bring to the table a very strong understanding of how to help people work together more efficiently.”

Dr. Belz’s diverse and extensive background as well as her business insight has enabled her be sought after by media outlets such as CNN. Additionally Dr. Belz is able to communicate what would seem to be highly intricate and complicated concepts into layman’s language as exemplified in her column for E-Commerce Times.com. Dr. Belz is a frequent speaker on technology management at places such as Lloyd Greif Center for Entrepreneurial Studies at USC, IEEE Aerospace Conference, and Graziadio School of Business at Pepperdine University.

This fall her book, 36-Hour Course: Product Development published by McGraw-Hill is set to be released. Dr. Belz describes the book as a “MBA-in-a-box” due to its interactive quizzes and its easy-to-read in depth guide to product development strategy, finance, marketing, manufacturing, distribution, and launch programs.
