Robert Grede

Robert Grede spent his career as a business consultant, best-selling author and instructor at the Marquette University School of Business. He majored in music at DePauw University and has an MBA from Emory University. Books he has authored include, “Naked Marketing: The Bare Essentials” and his historical fiction, “The Spur and the Sash.” Upon retiring, Grede pondered the question “What next?” This prompted the writing of the libretto and music for “RIP – a Musical Comedy of Life and Death,” which makes its debut July 17, 2024, at Next Act Theatre’s performance space in Milwaukee.
