Sonya Grier writes: "I have taken a tenured professor position in the marketing department at the Kogod School of Business at American University. It is a great fit for me, given my research on the social dimensions of marketing. All of the faculty in my department conduct research related to marketing and public policy issues, and many work in conjunction with government agencies in the area."

Chris Summersgill and his wife, Stephanie Ressel, had a son, Clemens, last October. In February, they flew to Guatemala for Clemens' baptism, where classmate Bill Kaufmann met them to preside as godfather. They're now living in Cambridge, Mass., and are looking forward to an East Coast summer.

Karena Strella writes with news of her recent promotion: "In January, I was elected partner in Egon Zehnder International, a leading international executive search firm, and named the global practice group leader for life sciences. In this role I lead our firm's life sciences activities, serving clients around the globe in executive search, succession planning, pre- and post-acquisition due diligence, and integration and board work. We have offices in just about every major city in the world so I am racking up the air miles."

Sven Zehnder has moved to Foster City, Calif., where he is working for VISA International in global sponsorship. He writes: "My family and I are travelling extensively and enjoying California as much as we can and try to meet up with fellow classmates. We had a wonderful lunch with Phelps Wood at the Ferry Building, surprised Duirmuid O'Connell '97 at his home in San Francisco and met up on numerous occasions with Wayne Hill '97. My assignment would have been the global FIFA project, but in a trial between FIFA and MasterCard, Judge Preska of New York decided to award these rights back to MasterCard, so my experience has taken a very different turn than originally anticipated. I am looking forward to meeting up with anyone else in the Bay Area."

Jai Shekhawat, Pradip Patiath and Aaron Gerber have kept up an annual post- Kellogg tradition of attending Fight Night at the University Club in Chicago. Jai wrote in with an update on the professional careers of the three: Jai started Fieldglass seven years ago and is still the CEO. They raised $38M in venture capital and are now profitable with 100 employees with operations in the U.S., Europe, Middle East, Africa and India. The company is a software-as-a-service firm in the services procurement space and was recently listed by Forrester as the top company in this category ahead of Ariba, SAP and Oracle. Jai previously co-founded Quinnox with two other friends. It is in the offshore application outsourcing industry and employs about 800 people, mostly in the U.S. and India. It is currently profitable with no outside capital.

Pradip was elected partner at McKinsey in Chicago. Aaron is the founder and CEO of Trio Health, a healthcare services company in Chicago. He was previously group vice president of Allscripts Healthcare Solutions.

GetWellNetwork Inc., a leading provider of interactive patient care solutions, recently announced it has appointed Stephen Hiscott as senior vice president of business development. Stephen brings more than 15 years of healthcare strategy, marketing and business development experience to the GetWellNetwork management team. His new role includes leading the company's business development efforts as it seeks to expand its relationships with other technology, content and healthcare organizations. Previously Stephen served as managing director and founding partner for the InPractice Group, an innovative professional services and technology firm focused on strategy execution and workflow management.

Tom Madison finally writes with an update after 11 years of silence: "Jennifer and I are alive and well in Atlanta, where we have lived since graduation. I've moved between several jobs over the past decade (like most Kelloggians) — many of them consulting ilk — but I've finally 'landed' at Equifax, running the firm's mortgage business. I'm still on the hunt for the perfect test-driver role at Porsche North America, but sadly they continue to throw out my letters and applications. More importantly, Jennifer and I are the very proud parents of two little ones: Mackenzie Steele and Thomas Luke. Mackenzie (3) is master of her own universe. Luke is not even a year old and already knows that, thanks to his older sister, he's probably going to need therapy early in life. We welcome any and all Kellogg visitors — especially if they baby-sit."

Miriam Geller and her partner have twin girls (2). Last year she started working at a new company (Intuit), after her former company (Macromedia) was acquired by Adobe. She still lives in San Francisco and is enjoying being a parent of twins.

Michelle McKinnon Veloso writes: "After working in investor relations at SIRIUS Satellite Radio for two years, I recently switched to a new role at SIRIUS (vice president of financial planning). I run our planning and budgeting process and am also learning a lot about the merger approval process. Please stay in touch — it's always fun taking Kellogg friends on tours of our NYC broadcast studios."

Tom McNulty is a director in the financial and transaction consulting practice of Sirius Solutions in Houston. He is focusing on complex business valuation, transaction and litigation engagements. His daughter Megan (4) is growing up way too fast for Tom to handle!

Bill Bonadio took a new position as vice president, strategy management for integrated defense systems at Boeing in Arlington, Va. It is an ideal opportunity given Bill's Navy background, and he is very much enjoying the challenge. Bill and Jenny Ord Bonadio continue to reside north of Baltimore, Md., with their children, Alex (7), Claire (5) and Madelyn (3). Jenny is working part-time as a marketing consultant and overtime as mom. They look forward to catching up with Kellogg friends in Chicago and around the Northeast this summer.
