How has Kenan-Flagler prepared you for your career?
The general management focus of the course work provided a strong foundation for my career in marketing. Classes on Supply Chain/Operations, Accounting, Finance, and Macroeconomics allowed me to gain an understanding of each of these areas. Now in my career, I am working with cross-functional teams and having the knowledge from my classes at Kenan-Flagler have enabled me to effectively and efficiently engage with them on my brands for success.
What do you do?
I am responsible for strategic development, marketing and daily management of the AMBI® and Shower to Shower® brands. My work includes overseeing everything from advertising development, consumer promotions to P&L responsibility.
What has the UNC Kenan-Flagler network helped you to achieve in your career?
Having the great network of people from Kenan-Flagler has been such an asset in my career development and progression. It has included my classmates and even those before and after me in school. And no matter what year you graduated, you mention Kenan-Flagler and people are willing to provide assistance in any manner needed. It is wonderful to have this network of people across the country and world.
What does the Consortium means to you?
The Consortium provided a window into my future world. Attending the Orientation Program allowed me to explore my options and meet with company representatives at an early stage and helped to solidify my decision for a career in Brand Management. I first met representatives from Johnson & Johnson at the Consortium Orientation Program in 2003 and that first meeting has led to a career that has been more than I ever expected.
