Katelyn Wandel

I’m originally from Chicago, IL, and hold a BBA in Food and CPG Marketing from Western Michigan University. After graduating, I spent two years at Mark Anthony Group, a beverage alcohol supplier, where I held various commercial strategy and category development roles across both the alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage portfolios. I am also a co-founder and host of the Gen Z CPG Podcast, which offers listeners career advice and features interviews with industry experts and founders in the CPG space. 

I came to Ross to pursue my MBA to deepen my understanding of brand management and strengthen my skills in leadership and business strategy. What makes me excited about Ross is its focus on global, action-based learning and the welcoming community I experienced through alumni and current students during the application process. 

I’m always happy to connect and chat about the Ross experience and anything related to CPG – and of course, to talk Michigan football!
