| FROM Kellogg MBA Blog: Why I chose the Kellogg Two-Year MBA Program: Otmane El Manser ’14 |
|
After four years in technology consulting, Otmane El Manser ’14 needed a change. He also needed core management skills and the chance to explore different careers. So he turned to Kellogg’s Full-Time Two-Year (2Y) Program. He felt confident that the program’s emphasis on general management would prepare him to lead in any industry and any role. While at Kellogg, Otmane became both a Siebel Scholar and a winner of the Ross Prahalad Case Competition. ABOUT THE TWO-YEAR PROGRAM Our Two-Year MBA Program is for students who want to gain the confidence to lead boldly and challenge conventional thinking in the global marketplace. You will build core management skills and then move on to specialized electives that reflect their areas of interest.

After you complete the required courses, you will have the opportunity to customize your experience through a wide range of electives and more than 1,000 experiential learning opportunities.

| FROM Kellogg MBA Blog: Alumni Spotlight: Elaine Russell ’09 |
Get to know some of Kellogg’s alumni who are bringing bold entrepreneurial visions to life.![]() Photo by Ron Yu Sometimes, the Internet serves as a guide. Netflix, Amazon, your favorite online clothing retailer — all offer a menu of recommended items. Shoppers get the convenience of similar options at the ready. Retailers keep the shoppers clicking. Now, apply that to a purchase that can be one of the most uncertain and stressful: jewelry. To address that niche, Elaine Russell ’09 founded Heirlumé, a company that takes the guesswork out of gift giving, at least when it comes to all that glitters. “The gift giving industry is a big one,” said Russell, who co-founded the company. “Jewelry is the No. 1 gift men give women, and people need a lot of help.” Return to Chicago A veteran of Silicon Valley, Russell was vice president of product at e-commerce company Storeplacer.com and worked for Tinyprints.com until Shutterfly bought it in 2011. That’s when Russell moved back to Chicago and got into the startup scene. Fine jewelry is a $40 billion industry in the United States, with 80 percent of it men buying jewelry for women. But for shoppers, department stores and big chains generally mean lower-quality products and over-eager commissioned salespeople. “Jewelry is a hard gift to figure out,” said John Adolph, a Heirlumé shopper and attorney from Dallas, Texas. “It’s hard to get good feedback without giving it away that I am trying to get a gift.” A friend told Adolph about Heirlumé and he decided to give it a shot.
