Andres
Ibanez
sent his greetings from Chile: "Since graduation from
Kellogg, I have been devoted to two professional endeavors.
With a partner, I founded an advertising and direct marketing
company in Chile. After 15 years, we have great clients, a
partnership with Rapp Collins Co. (OMNICOM USA) and more than
90 people working with us. The second endeavor is my academic
life, which has become a passion (maybe because of the Kellogg
professors' example). I have been teaching marketing courses
at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile and I am its MBA
director. I am also a board member at a consumer products
company and a department store in Chile.
"In
my personal life, I am happily married to Carolina (we were
already married when at Kellogg). Sebastian, who was born
in Evanston, is now almost 18 years old and looking forward
to college. After him, we had five more children (trying to
work against the population reduction trend in my country,
which is similar to Italy's). The smallest one is almost three
years old.
"We
invite our classmates to visit Chilean Patagonia or the driest
desert in the world. We would be happy to host you!"
David
Garland writes, "Since graduating, I have finally
switched jobs for the first time. I spent six years with Searle,
Pharmacia and Pfizer. In October 2004, I joined Sanofi-Aventis
in Richmond, Va. My daughter Rachel turned three in June and
my wife Carroll is a veterinarian for small animals.

Denise
Bindelglass took time out from her busy life as a new mother
to send this note and photo. "Life is great in Lincoln
Park, where I am enjoying the birth of my first child, Paulina
Marie, who was born on July 1. She was worth the wait.
"Professionally,
I have been with Trading Technologies, a Chicago-based software
developer of electronic trading software, as vice president
of human resources. I have been with TT since November 2003
and we have grown about 300 percent since then. The work keeps
my staff and I very busy. The company enjoys a reputation
as a premier provider of software in a very fast-growing industry.
I recently saw Fernando Montesino in London while I
was there on business. I also see Amy Laban often,
and Tina Tranfalia, Tiscia Eicher and Christian
Vandendriesche less often than I would like. I run into
Bruce Carlson near our offices in the South Loop. Wish
I would run into more Kellogg friends."
I
can attest to Denise's husband's golf skills — my three
sons all have taken lessons from Don and they have fallen
in love with the game. Keep the e-mails coming — it's
always great to hear from everyone. |
