Jose
"Pepe" Rivas
writes to tell us about Georgios Bakamitsos' wedding
party in Athens in June. "It was a wonderful cocktail
and dinner on a seaside cliff overlooking the ocean. Georgios
and Marion are now living in New Orleans, where he is
a marketing professor at Tulane. Other Kellogg alumni attending
were Nina Ragone and Yianni Repouli. As for
me, I am finishing my second year as a PhD student at Instituto
de Empresa in Madrid. I decided to change careers and move
to academics. My research interest field is corporate governance.
Let's see how it goes."
Sven
Zehnder has decided to leave VISA Worldwide Services and
the beautiful Bay Area to continue his career at Nike, where
he will be the new marketing director for Germany, Austria,
Switzerland and Slovenia. He writes: "I had a great time
here in San Francisco and met Phelps Wood, Wayne Hill
'97, Ross Khosrovi and Quinton Jay. I also enjoyed
the French cheese and wine seminar, which Stu Fisher
managed superbly. I started my new role on Oct. 1 with a base
in Frankfurt and I am very much looking forward to it. Since
I have worked there before, it feels like I am heading home!"
Susanna
(Mandel-Mantello) O'Hagan launched her new company,
Sm2 Sports Media Solutions, this April. The company specializes
in delivery of high-definition signals for sports properties.
They have distributed the Super Bowl, Golf Masters, Wimbledon,
U.S. Open, PGA Championships and a number of other events.
They have relocated to Greenwich, Conn., where Susanna occasionally
sees fellow Keloggian Marco Azzaretti '97, who lives in Hartford.
Besides Marco, Susanna is still in touch with Sven Zehnder
as they both keep working in the sports industry.
Tim
Daniels and Catherine Tantoco Daniels announce
with much pride and joy the birth of their son, Dashiell Grey
(nicknamed "Dash") in March. Tim and Catherine adore
the newest family member, who has so far been a very calm,
placid and happy baby, while big sister Ava Scarlett (3) is
still asking why she can't trade him in for a sister. Catherine
has thoroughly enjoyed "mummy-ing" full-time during
her eight-month maternity leave, two months of which she and
the children spent in the Philippines with extended family.
She returns to work with Reckitt Benckiser as global brand
marketing manager in October. Tim works for Barclays as director
of corporate finance for the credit card businesses. Tim and
Catherine are based in London and on separate occasions have
recently seen some '96 classmates: Heather McAndrews, Cecile
Tiano, Mark Ozer, Patrick Tham and Nick Reynolds,
as well as Cindy Bolton '97, Brett Adams '98 and Karina Rufino
Van den Oever '00. "To all the Kelloggians passing through
London, we would love to see you! Send us an e-mail at tcdaniels@tiscali.co.uk."
After
taking a year off from the working world, Amanda Wilson
rejoined it in June as the director of marketing at Krups/Rowenta
USA. "Having the time off was an incredible gift (courtesy
of a generous severance package from Gillette). I was able
to spend some real quality time with my two kids, Ellie (4)
and Max (2), and partner Barb (I won't mention her age) as
well as focus on all the details and decision-making necessary
when building a new house here in Needham, Mass."
Brandyn
Criswell Iverson was married in February in Napa Valley
at Calistoga Ranch, which also happened to be the project
she worked on developing from 2001-2004. Fellow alums in attendance
were Julie Roberts '94 and Elizabeth Duff. Elizabeth
got married in Connecticut just a few months later, so they
had fun sharing wedding planning war stories together during
the winter. Brandyn and husband Dane are also happy to share
the news of the arrival of Beck Iverson, who was born in July. |
