We asked the alumni below, celebrating a birthday today, May 19, "Where are you now?" Here's what they said...

Mamadou Camara MBA '20
Hi Fuqua Community! I'm currently working at Google, where I help create solutions for the Telco Industry and grow the partner ecosystem. My wife and I live in Frisco (north of Dallas, TX). We welcomed our second daughter eight months ago, and our oldest, who is just finishing kindergarten this month, is keeping us busy with summer activities planning :). Cheers everyone. All the best!

José Ceballos MBA '15
I’m currently in Mexico City, happy father of two girls (Alondra 4 and Olivia 2) with my also Fuquan wife Marisol. I work at EY-Parthenon as co-lead of our Latam education practice.

Meible Chi '20, MMS '21
After graduating, I’ve been working in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area as a clinical research assistant at the National Institutes of Health. Because I love Duke so much, I’ll be returning and starting medical school this August. Can’t wait to be back around my Blue Devil family!

Alfonso Chiong Li MBA '13
Hi, Fuqua community and greetings from Chicago! I move to this city in 2018 and since 2019 I am at Rio Tinto Commercial in Marketing Strategy for aluminium.

Scott Cochran MBA '95
My wife, Teresa, and I live in Spartanburg, SC. I'm the president of Spartanburg Methodist College, a four-year, liberal arts college in the Upstate. We have six children and five grandchildren. We're outdoor enthusiasts and spend our free time hiking and cycling. All the best to the Fuqua family!

Stephen Hiser MBA '11, MEM '11
My wife, Karly (Duke Nursing ‘10), and I live in East Grand Rapids, MI, with our three children, Reid, Rose, and Steele. I work for Siemens Energy, where I manage the firm's customer-facing industrial cybersecurity product portfolio. Karly and I have also started a business - @crannapparel - dedicated to sustainably sourcing and ethically producing the most comfortable clothing for kids ages four to ten. All the best to the Fuqua community! Wishing everyone well!

Kate Kane MBA '12
Hello Fuquans! I’m living in Connecticut with my husband, Pat, and our French Bulldog, Juno, and running my jewelry company, K Kane, out of NYC. My Fuqua friends and professors were my first customers during our business school days, and I am so grateful for all of your continued support. Couldn’t ask for a better group of people out there representing K Kane!

Ramez Maayah MBA '20
Hello Fuqua from Charlotte, NC! Being in sales, I am back up and traveling again to the different customers that we have in the southeast. Each birthday I get birthday wishes from a lot of friends and family members. Since 2020 it has been a little bit more special since many of these wishes come from fellow Fuqua classmates, staff, and alumni. When Dean Boulding said during orientation week that attending Fuqua was the best decision we could have made, he was absolutely right about that. Life-changing experience, and I miss being at Duke and Shooters already. Lots of love to the Fuqua family.

Mateusz Markiewicz MBA '99
Together with my wife and two daughters, aged nine and eleven, we live in Warsaw, Poland, so please get in touch if you plan to visit these parts. Professionally, for the last five years I have been the Regional CFO in charge of central European markets for restaurant operator, AmRest. Wishing everyone a great spring!

Richard McPhail MBA '96
I’ve lived in Atlanta since graduating from Fuqua (with a five-year move to London in the early 2000s), and I have been married to my wife, Wimberly, for twenty-three years. We have three kids. I’ve been at Home Depot for the past seventeen years, and have been the EVP and Chief Financial Officer of the company since 2019.

Chris Peck MBA '05
I’m in Nashville, Tennessee, with my wife, Ann, daughter Mary Frances (sixteen), and son Huntley (fourteen). I’m working in the IT Professional Services space for CGI as the Vice President heading up the Nashville market office.

Fernanda Russo MBA '19
Hi Fuqua family. I live in San Francisco, CA, and enjoy my Bay Area life very much. I lead a sales team at Google that helps small businesses grow by leveraging the power of Google Ads. Outside of work, I enjoy my time by hanging out with the Fuqua community in the area, running in Golden Gate Park, exploring local hikes, and skiing in Lake Tahoe. Come say hello if you are in the area!

Hilka Schmitz MBA '03
I have lived in London now for almost fifteen years (has it been that long!). It's a beautiful city full of experiences and opportunities. Having worked many years in investment banking, I am now in asset management with Fidelity International, where I am Head of Risk Insight. Such a shame that I am going to miss Bill Boulding's visit next week in London (I am traveling). Greetings to everyone in the Fuqua community!

Samantha Turner MBA '16
After living in Sydney for a year and moving around a bit during the pandemic, I’ve settled in Atlanta with my husband, Jack, and we’re both (still!) at Bain & Company. We welcomed the newest addition to our family, Will, almost a year ago. He’s already working on his ’25 Random Things’ for his Fuqua application. #1 is “Citizen of 3 countries, U.S, Canada, and the U.K, and looking forward to passing them all in the Hall of Flags.”
