Biography

[edit]

Born in the United States, Stacy graduated from Marlborough high school in Los Angeles. She received a BS from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University.

After graduating from Wharton, Blackman began working in finance at the Prudential Capital Group in San Francisco.

While at Business school Stacy Blackman (formerly Stacy Sukov) co-founded WebWisher[1] with Nicole Small and Erin Gershon, which was acquired by Della & James (now part of XO Group) before graduation in 1999. The process was chronicled in a series of articles in Fortune Magazine,[2][3][4][5] which landed the three co-founders on the cover[6] in May 2000.

She transitioned into a career in marketing and has worked in marketing roles at companies such as Charles Schwab, idealab! and Häagen-Dazs, later founding Stacy Blackman Consulting.

Admissions Consulting

[edit]

Blackman identified similarities between traditional marketing and admissions strategy. She developed an approach to marketing her clients successfully to top MBA programs[7] and founded Stacy Blackman Consulting, one of the leading firms in MBA Admissions Consulting,[8][9] in 2001.

Blackman has worked with the admissions committees at both Wharton and Kellogg, conducting alumni interviews and evaluating applicants.

In addition to private consulting, Blackman is a speaker on the topic of MBA admissions. She has taught groups from the YPO (Young Presidents' Organization) and coached alumni organizations from schools such as Stanford, Penn and Williams College. She also runs workshops at companies including JPMorgan, Lehman Brothers, UBS and Credit Suisse First Boston.

Blackman is sought out as an expert[10] on the admissions process and has been profiled in several publications, including Fortune,[11] BusinessWeek,[12][13][1] CNN Money,[7][14] Entrepreneur magazine,[15] Business 2.0, The Economist,[16] Washington Post,[17] Wall Street Journal,[18] Financial Times[19][20] and Wharton magazine.[21][1]

Blackman was elected to the board of directors of AIGAC, the Association of International Graduate Admissions Consultants.[1]

Blackman has co-authored a book, The MBA Application Roadmap,[22][23][24] and is the official blogger for the US News business school blog, Strictly Business.[25]
