Paula Sneed, Sr. Vice President of Global Marketing Resources for Kraft Foods, Inc. will be the Simmons School of Management 2005 graduation speaker on Friday, August 5.

Ms. Sneed is responsible for leading Kraft’s 700+ Global Marketing Services organization that ensures world-class marketing, including advertising, media, promotions, digital and interactive marketing, CRM, packaging, marketing research and other marketing disciplines for more than 100 major food brands. Kraft Foods markets food and beverage brands including Kraft cheese, Jacobs and Maxwell House coffees, Nabisco cookies and crackers, Philadelphia cream cheese, Oscar Mayer meats, Post cereals, and Milka chocolates in more than 150 countries.

After receiving a BA from Simmons College, Ms. Sneed worked for several years in the not-for-profit sector in Boston.
