Cesar Diaz Elizondo

I'm a graduate of the Ross Full-Time MBA Class of 2025. After Ross, I joined Heartland FPG as an Associate Brand Manager, where I focus on driving innovation and growth in the CPG space.

At Ross, I served as VP of Corporate Relations for the Michigan Marketing Club and VP of Marketing for the Design + Business Club. I also took part in the Ross Marketing Trek, which gave me a chance to connect with industry leaders and explore the many paths available within brand management.

One of the most meaningful parts of my MBA journey was being a member of The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, a remarkable organization dedicated to increasing the representation of underrepresented minorities in business leadership. Through The Consortium, I gained not only a strong professional network but also a true sense of community, friendship, and support that made my experience all the more rewarding.

Before business school, I worked in project management, leading cross-functional teams to bring new products to market. Originally from Mexico, I came to Ross looking for a collaborative, hands-on environment to make a pivot into brand management, and I couldn’t have asked for a better place to do it.

I'm always happy to chat with prospective students about the MBA experience, career exploration, life in Ann Arbor, or anything in between. Feel free to reach out!
