Biography
Carolyn (who often goes by CeCe) Russo joined the faculty of Northeastern University in May of 2018 teaching in Boston for 5 years before moving to Northern California and joining the Silicon Valley and Oakland campuses. CeCe believes there is so much to learn and even more to discuss about the opportunistic world we live in, especially as it relates to the intersection of data analytics and strategic management. She has served in this industry for over 35 years working across the United States in many sectors, including retail, manufacturing, brokering, distributing, consulting, and now, education. In every sector, she led the use of data and analytics to drive sales, profits, innovation, competitive analysis, annual planning and overall strategic initiatives. She is credited with having started a category optimization “University” within a Fortune 50 company and further developed strategies for using analytics in new business initiatives and entrepreneurial ventures. CeCe’s hobbies are animal care, acting and voice over work. She also loves to go back “home” to the East Coast every summer.
