“As Partner Marketing Analytics Manager at CDW, I am able to leverage the skills from the MBA in Management program for driving my team’s performance. Outside of the classroom, Kellstadt has a rich community and many organizations to be a part of, where my involvement as past-President of Kellstadt Marketing Group has given me a holistic view of marketing, strategy, and people management and has directly translated to real world experience. The network and community is something I continue to tap into regularly and everyone is very inclusive and supportive of fellow DePaul alum.”
