With over 20 years of experience in category management and insights across three multinational consumer goods companies, I am a seasoned professional who enjoys applying my knowledge and skills to the academic field. As a Lecturer at the University of Miami Herbert Business School, I develop and deliver material for the 'Foundations of Marketing' course, creating a classroom environment where students feel comfortable participating and learning.I hold a Doctor of Business Administration degree from Florida International University - College of Business, where I also serve as an Adjunct Faculty for the 'Intro to Management' and 'Marketing Channels' courses. My research interest lies in knowledge worker productivity, a topic that I explored in my dissertation. I am an avid reader of writings on marketing and management, and I admire the works of Wroe Alderson and Peter Drucker, who are considered the fathers of these disciplines. My mission is to inspire and educate the next generation of marketers and managers with a balance of theory and practice.
