Linda Komatsubara
Hi Pioneers! I studied Business concentrated in Marketing at the Daniels College of Business and graduated with a BSBA in 2005. Since then, I have explored a career path in consulting, digital marketing and advertising, and am currently a consultant at McKinsey & Company. Although I consider Denver my home town, I relocated to the South Florida area in 2013 and have since adopted the beach lifestyle. I am excited to connect with DU alumni in upcoming events in the south Florida region including Tampa, Miami, and up to Palm Beach. Reach out to me via email or LinkedIn to learn more about getting involved locally in South Florida! Go Pioneers!
