Alexis Bawden, MBA ’09, was attracted early on to the industry in her backyard in California wine country. But her professional path wasn't a direct route.
After working in Washington, D.C. on Senator John McCain's campaign, she realized she could either stay in the political arena or take a chance and go to business school.
"I knew I wanted to focus on business, and in order to round out my skill set and move my career to the next level, an MBA was crucial," she said.
She now works at Constellation Wines—the world’s largest wine company—as a Trade Marketing and Promotions Manager. "It's what I want to be doing every day," she said.
