DEFINE YOUR EXPERIENCE IN THE MASTER IN MANAGEMENT USING ONE WORD
Opportunity.
IN WHAT WAYS DO YOU THINK THE MASTER IN MANAGEMENT HAS CHANGED YOUR LIFE, PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY?
Studying at IE Business School has allowed me to pursue very attractive career opportunities that I might not have had access to without the academic training I received at this University. After finishing my Master in Management in 2016, I started working at Altamar Capital Partners, one of the leading global alternative asset managers in Europe, and now I run my own Investment Fund at Thalesia. Being part of IE has also allowed me to build relationships with students from different countries that have given me new perspectives to develop myself on a personal and human level. But the key is the different way of looking at things, the intellectual perspective, which makes you a transformer for life.
WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO STUDENTS WHO ARE ABOUT TO BEGIN THE PROGRAM?
The School has been one of the best opportunities of my life. Studying the Master in Management allows you to transform a solid academic background into an excellent professional career. The Master in Management provides a top-tier academic training and an extensive network of contacts to be maintained over the years. That is why my best advice is to enjoy.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE MEMORY OF THE MASTER IN MANAGEMENT SO FAR?
My best memory is the experience I lived during that year as a whole. The quality of the teachers, the daily work groups with the classmates who become friends and the plans in Madrid with the friends, make studying the Master in Management an unforgettable experience.
WHAT IS NETWORKING LIKE IN THE MASTER IN MANAGEMENT?
The Master in Management stands out especially for the quality of the network of contacts that is generated. IE Business School actively promotes networking through events, fairs and extracurricular activities, and class groups change every term, ensuring maximum opportunities to meet different profiles. When finishing the Master, you will belong to an alumni network that extends globally.
