The Kellogg Alumni Club of Philadelphia, jointly with the Northwestern University Alumni Club of Philadelphia, hosted Mike George ’85, president and CEO of QVC, at the company’s headquarters in West Chester, Penn. Mike gave an overview of how his career has progressed from McKinsey, where he rose to senior partner, to chief marketing officer at Dell, to his current role at QVC. He shared his vision for QVC, as well as how the company deals with competition and plans to expand globally. He also fielded questions from attendees. After the speech, the attendees were given a guided tour of QVC’s 18,000-square-foot studio. About 60 alumni and guests attended the event. Special thanks to Mike and his team at QVC for hosting, and to the NU Alumni Club of Philadelphia for helping organize the event.
