Adrianne George’s Education

Boston University
MS , Management , 2006
I was challenged from day one and looking back, loved every minute of it. Talk about stretching and growing. And studying in Brussels was a big plus. Living in the capital of Europe helped keep things interesting.
- Activities and Societies:
- American Marketing Association, International Association of Business Communicators

Boston University
Graduate Certificate , Marketing , 2006
My research project looked at the availability of make up for Black women in Europe. My conclusion was that Black women are an under served market for make up. But if you live in Paris or London you've got choices for products. Hmmm, sounds like a great business opportunity!
