We asked the alumni below, celebrating a birthday today, February 17, "Where are you now?" Here's what they said...

Wes Brown MSQM ‘21

I live in Suffolk, VA, with my wife, Stefanie, and our children, Olivia and Josh. I recently joined Intersect ENT as a Territory Sales Manager after ten years in orthopedic device sales. Stefanie's restaurant, The Bier Garden, keeps her busy as she finishes a graduate program in May. We're looking forward to spending as much time as possible in the Outer Banks this summer. Cheers, Team Fuqua!

Devin Burns MBA ‘11

Greetings from Indianapolis where I am currently living with my wife and three kids (two still at home). I am the CFO for Inspectorio, a SaaS/software company, and I work remotely. I work a lot, but when I am not, we are appreciating all the good food here and planning for post-COVID travels.

Maria Chapado MBA ‘19

After graduating from Fuqua, I moved to Austin, TX, with my partner, now husband. I started my post-MBA career at Dell Technologies, and I am currently a Senior Product Manager under the Infrastructure Solutions Group. So far, it has been an incredible journey, with lots of learnings and new challenges. I wish all the best to the Fuqua family and hope everyone stays safe!

Mary Ellen Grossnickle ‘84, MBA ‘89

I am in Macon, Georgia adjusting to our empty nest after 28 busy years of raising four children, including two Dukies! I am the Co-Coordinator of a food pantry here in town that has grown exponentially in the past two years, so I spend a great deal of my time hauling food and packing bags.

Erik Hoffman MBA ‘04

Hello from Philadelphia! My family and I moved from NYC roughly seven years ago, and we have been enjoying life in the suburbs. Our two busy boys (11 and 8) keep my wife and I hopping. I'm currently leading product strategy for a Boulder, Colorado-based Cognizant Accelerator. It's always a treat to catch up with classmates, and I'm looking forward to the next reunion.

Shashikant Kejriwal MBA ‘13

My wife, Erin, and I live in the greater Boston area with our two sons, Simon and Oliver. We've been here for the last 13+ years since leaving Duke. I work in financial technology, and I will be starting a new role in early March. Hope everybody is doing well and cheers to the class of 2008.

Catherine Willis MBA ‘13, MPP ‘13

My husband Daniel, our nine-year-old rescue Golden Retriever, Millie Jean, and I currently live in Washington, DC. I am at Bank of America focusing on banking product strategy and risk management for high net worth clients. I stay active with yoga and teaching scuba diving at a local dive shop, Blue Planet Scuba. Reach out if you want to learn! In 2022, I’m hoping for a return to international travel with family and fellow Duke alumni.
