Sarah L. Wiener

I'm a doctoral graduate fellow at UT Austin's McCombs School of Business studying quantitative marketing. I'm also working on two concurrent master's degrees along the way (M.S. Marketing in 2025 and M.S. Economics in 2027).

Before grad school, I spent a few years in tech doing pricing, competitive marketing, and GTM strategy and analytics. At Klarna, I worked with brands like Nike and Adidas on sales analytics. Before that, I was at Intel negotiating deals and managing competitor positioning. I also got pulled into some bigger projects leading Intel's pandemic response fund ($50M for telehealth and online learning) and their Olympics sponsorship deal flow. I still do some consulting work on the side (currently with a Stanford startup) and I spend my free time with Austin's run clubs, at Alamo Drafthouse, and mentoring Penn State students as a Smeal Alumni Mentor.
