Spotlight on Ayo: IT Project Management Co-op at SaviLinx
At SaviLinx, we believe in investing in emerging talent and creating meaningful opportunities for growth. One of the ways we do this is through our partnership with Northeastern University’s Roux Institute, which connects us with bright, motivated students pursuing careers in technology, analytics, and business. Today, we’re proud to spotlight Ayo, an IT Project Management Intern who joined us through the Roux Institute’s co-op program.
Bringing Academic Insight to Real-World Projects
Ayo is currently pursuing his Master’s in Project Management with a concentration in Analytics at the Roux Institute. He joined SaviLinx to gain hands-on experience in managing IT projects and to contribute to initiatives that improve customer experience and operational efficiency.
“This experience is giving me real-world skills and shaping me into a better team player and leader,” Ayo shared.
As part of our IT team, Ayo supports project planning, documentation, risk and issue management, and scheduling. He’s learning directly from our Director of IT and Director of IT Cloud Operations, gaining insight into how projects are structured, executed, and aligned with business goals.
Building Skills for a Career in IT Project Management
Ayo’s internship aligns closely with his academic program and long-term career goals. He’s focused on developing core competencies in:
- End-to-end IT project execution
- Writing clear and effective project documentation
- Managing risks and timelines
- Leading discussions and collaborating across teams
His goal is to transition into a full-time role in IT Project Management after graduating in April 2026, ideally staying in Maine’s growing tech ecosystem.
A Passion for Learning and Exploring Maine
Outside of work, Ayo enjoys hiking Maine’s scenic trails, discovering ocean views, watching soccer, and exploring new topics beyond his field of study. His curiosity and enthusiasm for learning make him a valuable addition to our team.
A Partnership That Builds Futures
Ayo’s co-op is part of our ongoing collaboration with the Roux Institute, a partnership that continues to bring fresh perspectives and emerging talent into our organization. By offering real-world experience in IT and project management, we help students like Ayo build confidence, sharpen their skills, and prepare for impactful careers.
We’re excited to support Ayo’s journey and look forward to the contributions he’ll make during his time at SaviLinx.
