Dom Alcocer transitioned from the Air Force to General Mills as a Marketing Manger in April 2005. He managed General Mills brands in the cereal and holiday cookies categories. Dom claims he even invented a new holiday, “Back to School,” and a type of cookie to go along with it. He left General Mills for Pernod Ricard where he was “Director of Tequila” (pretty neat job title). Today, Dom is a Senior Vice President, Group Account Director at Y&R (Young & Rubicam) in New York City.
Dom is smart and funny. You will enjoy listening to him share:
- How to evaluate location in a career search
- How he and his wife adapted and learned to love Minnesota
- The best advice he ever received has to do with how to get a cow out of a ditch
- Why his favorite book is How to Win Friends and Influence People.
