I'm going to stop apologizing for failing to keep this updated as well as I should.
I was lucky last spring to secure an internship with General Mills. So, this summer I spent my days in the office working with the many Big G cereal brands. It was a great experience to help grow the brands' at retail. I worked on 5 projects (more than most) involving analysis, strategy, and tactical implementation of initiatives for key growth customers of the Big G cereal brands.
While it was a great opportunity and experience, I'm looking for a new challenge to move forward with my full time position post-MBA. I'm still very interested in CPG brand management as the end goal (and what I feel is my calling, if you will), but I'm looking at finding the right fit and position for me.
Wish me luck!
