Celebrating the Class of 2006

Many graduating Goizueta Business School students, especially those with a concentration in finance and marketing, look to New York City for jobs. This year’s class is a testament to the maneuverability of the Goizueta degree. As an example, the undergraduate class made significant strides in penetrating the highly competitive field of advertising.
“Advertising is very difficult to break into,” says Rosemary Chakko 06BBA, an assistant account executive at Grey Worldwide. After landing a summer internship with Grey as a result of a BBA Trek to New York in 2005, coordinated by Douglas Cooper, director, BBA Career Management Center (CMC), Chakko kept in touch with a human resources contact to ensure her resume didn’t get lost in the shuffle. (Amrita Uttamchandani 06BBA also secured a position with Grey, where she is an assistant account executive and her clients include CoverGirl and Max Factor).

Nick Friend 06BBA made sure he stayed on his future employer’s radar screen. “Everyone’s busy, but you can’t let them forget about you,” explains Friend, an associate at Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide.
Friend’s contact with Ogilvy began his junior year when he met a representative of the firm. Friend kept in touch. When Ogilvy recruited at Goizueta, Friend applied for a job. He also networked with several Goizueta alumni in the industry. “I think alumni are your best resource,” he says. (Fellow 06BBA grads Nora Schuman 06BBA and Jessica Tran 06BBA also work for Ogilvy in New York).

Aimee Kraus 06BBA concurs. Through Cooper and the BBA CMC, Kraus contacted a BBA alum working in BBDO Worldwide’s Atlanta office. That initial contact gave Kraus, now an assistant account executive with BBDO in NYC, a foot in the door.
Goizueta’s doctoral program also made news this year by graduating its first student this past May: Kapil Tuli. Tuli is now an assistant professor of marketing, Lee Kong Chian School of Business in Singapore. Jerry Kane, currently with Boston College’s Carroll School of Management in Massachusetts, picked up his PhD this past summer.
