CPG/Retail

Welcome to the CPG/Retail industry page. Here you will find resources and advice covering the most dynamic trends and issues affecting retailing (the sale of products to consumers) and consumer packaged goods (companies that manufacture, distribute, and market goods that consumers generally use up and replace on a regular basis, such as cosmetics, beverages, soap, and clothing). Questrom graduates land roles in product management, supply chain, consumer marketing, and brand strategy. The Feld Center’s Industry Relations Manager (lRM) cultivates recruiting partnerships with employers and alumni — in both large CPG/Retail companies and smaller/midsize retail startups — to connect Questrom students with internship and job opportunities as well as industry insights.
