Wharton MBA Women Make the News

Women and glass ceilings. Women and MBAs. Women and Wharton. Just how do Wharton women measure up?  Quite nicely, thank you.

Two Wharton women MBAs to make the news this week include  Rachel Cullen and Beth Kaplan. Rachel Cullen was appointed to the newly-created position of Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Ice Cream of Dean Foods (the third largest US ice cream and frozen novelty company).

The Wharton MBA enabled Rachel to make the move from analytical chemist with Union Carbide to business development and marketing positions at Kraft Foods before moving to Dean Foods.

Beth Kaplan  was named a board member of Blackboard, Inc. a leading provider of enterprise software applications and related educational innovation services that connect people and technology. 

The Wharton MBA prepared Ms. Kaplan for brand management and marketing positions in several leading retailers and consumer products companies. She has served as executive vice president and general manager for Bath & Body Works, senior executive vice president of marketing and merchandising at Rite Aid Drugstores, president and general manager of Noxell, and as a general manager of several Procter & Gamble food division brands. Ms Kaplan is also a member of the board of overseers of the Wharton School of Business.

Wharton women prove the value of the MBA and the value of the Wharton brand.
