Her role includes oversight of admissions, student life and career management activities. During her tenure at Kellogg, Dean Ziegler has focused on creating a distinctive student experience, from the moment students apply to Kellogg until they join the global alumni community. She has restructured MBA operations to better deliver the school’s strategy; partnered with faculty to re-balance the program portfolio to meet market demand; and worked alongside students to create programs such as the Dean’s Consulting Alliance and the Kellogg Education Technology Incubator, which give students the opportunity to apply their knowledge and skills to enhance the overall student experience. Prior to Kellogg, she served as a principal in McKinsey & Company’s Chicago office where she led the firm’s Life Insurance Operations and Technology practice and co-led its Financial Institutions Operations and Technology practice. While there, Dean Ziegler advised a range of clients, from major financial services corporations to municipalities to universities. Earlier in her career, Dean Ziegler worked as an operations manager for GE Capital, where she specialized in managing front-line performance in credit-card-based customer service, credit and collection call centers. Dean Ziegler holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and received a BA in economics from The Ohio State University, where she graduated with distinction. Dean Ziegler is a member of Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago Board of Directors. She also serves as an investor in and adviser for several startup companies.
