February 17, 2014
"In devising a strategy, good marketers include what-if conditions that might cause that strategy to fail," observed Marc Schneider '81 in his late November visit to Professor Marc Weinberger's class, Managerial Perspectives in Marketing Strategy. A former Isenberg management and finance major, Schneider is Group President of Heritage Brands in Manhattan, one of three divisions in the American-based clothing giant, PVH Corp (Phillips-Van Heusen). Schneider's division manages such high-profile brands as Izod, Van Heusen, Arrow, Speedo, Warner's, and Olga. "We sell one in three dress shirts in the United States.

Since graduating with a Finance degree from Isenberg in '09, I have worked in two different industries (both unrelated to Finance), in two different countries and for four different companies. It was during my final months of living in New Zealand in the Spring of 2012 that I had an epiphany and realized the following - I’m an entrepreneur at heart and I need to be part of something where I’m not just a number in a large corporation but rather a highly visible member of an intelligent, ambitious and innovative team.

You probably don't know this but UMass is the second most represented alumni group at Uber - a technology company employing a few hundred people globally. I believe this is the product of young alumni's respect for their University and the recognition of talent that has shaped the course of one of the fastest growing companies in the country right now.

Sometimes it can be overwhelming to try to think about a “real world” career when you are still in a “college” environment. I was always the type of person that did not like the unknown and/or not knowing what I was going to do after school. Understanding that there were many different paths to the top of the mountain made me feel better and de-emphasized some one-off events that I thought at the time may hold way more value than they really did.
