John E. Cavaliere

Instructional Specialist, Marketing

I joined Montclair State University faculty in 2013. I currently teach Introduction to Marketing, Integrated Marketing Communication, Marketing Integrated Core, and serve as Faculty Adviser for the Marketing Department’s Co-op Intern Program. Prior to joining the MSU faculty, I held Executive Marketing positions with several major corporations (Nestle, Borden’s, and most recently Mars, Incorporated where I retired after 25 years of service). Combining my 35 plus years of professional marketing and business experience with contemporary marketing theory my students get the benefit of learning how principles of Marketing, Advertising, and Promotion are applied to real-world business cases as they prepare to embark upon their business career after graduation.
