About Zach Polin

I currently work for Intuit on the QuickBooks Online marketing team, helping small businesses grow and thrive. Previously, I worked as Senior Brand Manager and E-Commerce lead for the Kashi company, including ownership of Kashi Snacks, including 3-year strategies, annual plans, and innovation pipeline. As E-Commerce lead, I was responsible for strategy and growing sales across all of Kellogg\'s Natural & Organic brands. Prior to Kashi, I worked at E&J Gallo Winery, managing the Apothic Wine brand and multiple brands in the Economy wine category. I joined Gallo after earning my MBA from Carnegie Mellon University\'s Tepper School of Business. While earning my MBA, I was lucky to intern in marketing at the Heinz Company where I created an actionable go-to-market plan targeting the Hispanic consumer for Heinz’s Ore-Ida brand. Before business school, I worked in project management, sales, and marketing for Celergy Networks. In the past, I have been involved in a variety of industries including digital marketing, real estate investment, and computer services. My interests include sports, photography, cooking, travel, and scuba diving.Technical Skills: ACNielsen Database, IRI Database, Advanced Skills in Microsoft Excel/PowerPoint, Microsoft Access, Salesforce CRM, Certified Specialist of Wine, General Assembly Certified Marketer
