Olympic Connections
Mary Lobbestael (BBA '99, Marketing) recently landed a new job—she's responsible for BMW's entire promotional portfolio—including development and execution of BMW's Olympic partnership (as well as Motorsport and Golf Platforms).

In the past, Lobbestael worked as Vice President of Experiential Marketing at General Motors R*Works, where she managed promotions for Cadillac, including partnerships with the Tribeca Film Festival; American Film Institute; the movie Transformers;  and the 2004, 2006, and 2008 Olympic Games.

Lobbestael regularly interacts with high profile business leaders and celebrities. Out of all the Oscars, ESPYs, and Super Bowls that she has worked on, her favorite event is the Olympics.
