About Kerry

Kerry is a former member of the MBA Admissions Board at Harvard Business School (HBS). During her 6-years at HBS, she read and evaluated thousands of applications and interviewed MBA candidates from a wide range of backgrounds across the globe. She also led marketing and outreach efforts focused on increasing diversity and inclusion, ran the Summer Venture in Management Program (SVMP), and launched the 2+2 Program during her time in Admissions. Kerry holds a B.A. from Bates College and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management. After Kellogg, she spent 8 years in brand marketing at Nestlé, where she managed iconic (and delicious!) brands like Häagen-Dazs and Dreyer’s & Edy’s ice cream, among others. As a marketer with deep expertise bringing brand stories to life, Kerry loves using these skills to help clients craft their own unique narratives. Born and raised in the Boston area, Kerry now resides in Philadelphia with her husband and two young daughters. She enjoys running, hiking, yoga, travel, singing (ask her about performing with the all-female acapella group at HBS!), and music of all kinds.
