2009

Matthew Wallerstein joined Jericho-based Metropolitan Realty Associates LLC as a vice president.

William Leonard’s oldest daughter Annabelle started kindergarten this year. He comments, “We found great therapists (physical and speech) for Savannah (middle daughter) and Tallulah (youngest daughter).”

Yen Ling and William really enjoy Houston — it’s like a bigger Atlanta (where William is from) and the climate is similar to Taipei (where Ling is from). William is executive director at the Texas School of Business and comments that leading a post-secondary institution is a big challenge but extremely rewarding.

Mi Roo Kim changed jobs, moving to San Francisco to work for Apple. Congratulations Mi Roo!

Chetan Paydenkar would like to send congratulations to Reff Thenard Cheng on his marriage to Minh-Han Phan on Aug. 21 in Napa Valley, Calif.

Lars de Kock and Jannie Coers married Sept. 10 and enjoyed a lovely honeymoon in Singapore and Bali.
Tiffany Urrechaga was hired as an independent business and knowledge management consultant for the Promoting Pro-Poor Opportunities in Commodity and Service Markets (PrOpCom) project in Abuja, Nigeria. PrOpCom is a project funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development to facilitate the functionality and efficiency of Nigerian agricultural commodity markets in such a way as to assure that these markets benefit the poor. In typical Kellogg fashion, she has also joined the volunteer management committee of the Abuja Hash House Harriers, serving as the club’s communications secretary and back-up treasurer.

This summer, Esther Choy founded the Leadership Story Lab, a social enterprise that uses storytelling techniques to help clients uncover their personal leadership insights. To date, she has served over 150 MBA applicants, career switchers, military veterans, fundraisers and entrepreneurs in telling their stories. To learn more, visit LeadershipStoryLab.com.

Becky Ingis and Eric Epstein ’08 did their own version of KWEST China this year to celebrate their one-year wedding anniversary. Activities included climbing the Great Wall in Beijing, visiting fellow Kellogg alum Christine Weigman Grand ’08 and her husband Eric in Shanghai, and going to the 2010 World Expo. The big reveal took place on the Great Wall, where Eric discovered them selling Snickers bars and proclaimed himself a loyal Mars Chocolate employee.

Neera Chanani and Sid Shah are enjoying their time traveling and working between Las Vegas and Mumbai. Drop them a note if you are in town. They’ve seen quite a few ’09 Kellogg alums recently and look forward to seeing more at our upcoming trip to NY/Vermont!

Katie and Matt Znameroski happily announce the birth of Tyler Znameroski on June 10.
