As part of this program, he enjoyed enriching internships with his university&#8217;s department for innovation and also spent time at a consulting company working on design concept projects across South America and Spain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During his studies, he quickly became aware of the burgeoning role of technology and data in the business landscape and, citing a desire to stand out from the crowd when applying for work, he began to gravitate toward studies in the field of data science.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\">Looking back on this stage of his career, he recalls: <em>\u201cI didn\u2019t know how I could apply the business skills that I learned in my bachelor\u2019s and use data.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data1.jpg\" alt=\"Shifting sectors with the Master in Business Analytics and Big Data\" class=\"wp-image-31012\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data1-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data1-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Intrigued by the potential of data analytics, he enrolled in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/programs\/master-business-analytics-big-data\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master in Business Analytics and Big Data<\/a> program at IE University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael considers the greatest benefit the program afforded him was a change of outlook: \u201cNow I would say I have a data-driven mindset, a different way of thinking when I see a business problem,\u201d he says, calling his time at IE University a crucial step in preparing him for a career in the business world.&#8221; The program exposed Michael to various aspects of data analytics, including machine learning, reinforcement learning, and AI. The comprehensive curriculum covered a host of areas including retail, marketing, operations and healthcare, allowing the students to tailor their learning experience to specific interests. Perhaps most vitally in terms of his future profession, though, Michael says he acquired a skillset which gave him the confidence to bridge the gap between technical and business-focused roles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following graduation, Michael was fortunate enough to land a role at Deloitte, where he now works in finance transformation. \u201cWe work with our clients\u2019 finance departments, helping them analyze and redefine their operational models,\u201d he explains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this sense, the program has already served him well and he underlines the significant impact that big data is having on the financial sector:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data3.jpg\" alt=\"Shifting sectors with the Master in Business Analytics and Big Data\" class=\"wp-image-31014\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data3.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data3-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data3-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Shifting-sectors-with-the-Master-in-Business-Analytics-and-Big-Data3-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"could-the-master-in-management-be-exactly-what-you-re-looking-for-too-let-s-dig-deeper-to-discover-if-this-program-is-right-for-your-career-goals\"><em>\u201cBusinesses generate vast amounts of data, which allow them to gain insights into customer behavior, market trends and risk management.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>He goes on to explain how big data also contributes to improving customer experience and preventing fraud and money laundering through transaction monitoring, all of which are areas covered during the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael cites \u201cIE University\u2019s reputation as a top-ranked business school\u201d as one of the main reasons he opted to enroll here, alongside the emphasis on innovation and entrepreneurship, with initiatives like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/entrepreneurship\/programs-initiatives\/initiatives\/venture-lab\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Venture Lab<\/a>.
