Kameron Akbarzadeh

Born and raised in the metro Atlanta area, I earned a Bachelor's degree from Georgia Tech in industrial engineering before realizing I wanted to pivot into marketing, which hit the intersection of creativity, strategy, and analytics. Before coming to Ross, I worked as a Senior Consultant at Deloitte Digital in New York City, where I led marketing initiatives and advised Fortune 500 and federal government clients alike on digital strategy, customer engagement, brand growth, and audience segmentation. My decision to pursue an MBA at Michigan Ross came from a desire to expand upon my engineering education and broaden my understanding of marketing and business as a whole while exploring marketing/brand management opportunities in the CPG, retail, and tech industries. Ross was the best choice for me, thanks to its action-based learning programs and the strength of its community from current students to alumni.

Outside the classroom, I enjoy teaching and mentoring, watching competitive reality television, and checking out Ann Arbor’s coffee shops and restaurants.
