BACKGROUND

HOW DID THIS JOB FIT INTO YOUR CAREER STRATEGY?

HOW DID YOU FOUND THIS OPPORTUNITY?

HOW DID TALENT&CAREERS HELP YOU?

"Before enrolling myself into the IMBA at IE Business School, I was working as a category manager for a retail company (Jeronimo Martins) based in Lisbon, Portugal. I knew since day 1, that one of my objectives during my time at IE, was to change industry´s and to continue to develop my professional career in a CPG company."

"Joining ABI after my IMBA, was definitely the career boost I was expecting as part of my professional and personal journey. One month within the company and I was already fully responsible for managing an entire sales division, with a team of 74 employees and 60 M USD worth of sales. In addition to the challenges and opportunities in your every day job, the GMBA program is a one in a lifetime experience. In the program deep dives, you will experience first-hand, how the business operates in different countries in the world and you will have the opportunity to meet and connect with other fellow GMBA´s, as well as senior leaders of the company. The GMBA experience helps you, to broaden your perspective so you can bring new ideas into your own business, and most importantly it allows you to develop a network of colleagues and friends, who work in all kind of areas and projects all over the world. It feels just like the IMBA experience all over again!"

"I found out about AB InBev´s GMBA program through T&C, and with the help of my advisor (Juan Sanz) we customized my CV in order to target this specific opportunity. After several individual and group interviews, I finally was accepted into the GMBA program in my home country Colombia."

TIPS FROM SEBASTIAN TO APPLY FOR THE PROGRAM

Understand the Company

I would advise any IE student seeking to work with us, to get to know and completely understand our unique culture. As a former student, I personally know how much of a “cliché” the idea of company culture being the single most important factor of an organization can be. However, there is no middle ground regarding ABI´s culture, you love it or you hate it.
