While he found early success with a managing director&#8217;s position in Germany, his path has taken him to Palo Alto Networks&#8217; careers office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI studied business before, so I wasn\u2019t really focused on tech. My job involved making long and short-term strategy. But I found whenever I was working closely with our IT department, I really had fun\u2014I\u2019ve enjoyed technology since I was a child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s when Sebastian decided to take on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/from-ie-university-to-amazon-how-a-master-in-computer-science-business-technology-can-help-shape-a-biztech-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">master in computer science<\/a>. The only question\u2014where?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI chose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE School of Science &amp; Technology<\/a> because it has a great reputation. And their master was one of the only courses that provided a technological master for people with a business background.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choosing-to-study-the-master-in-computer-science-amp-business-technology\">Choosing to study the Master in Computer Science &amp; Business Technology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The choice proved to be the right one. While Sebastian had concerns about the technical content of the course, he quickly got into his stride. This was aschieved through hands-on teaching of complex data analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns 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-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Classes for cybersecurity careers\" class=\"wp-image-35105\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1-1170x779.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1-585x390.jpg 585w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1-263x175.jpg 263w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/palo-alto-network-careers-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-program-was-really-helpful-it-started-basic-then-became-more-difficult-some-people-in-class-had-much-more-technical-experience-but-it-was-a-nice-challenge-to-keep-up-with-them\">\u201cThe program was really helpful. It started basic then became more difficult. Some people in class had much more technical experience, but it was a nice challenge to keep up with them.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Masters at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">IE School of Science &amp; Technology<\/a> are known for their rigorous content. When the Global Immersion Week\u2014an optional trip for students to experience a foreign economy up close\u2014approached, some classmates were keen to focus on their workload. But Sebastian decided to throw his hat in the ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI chose to do the Global Immersion Week because it\u2019s a great, great offer by the university to understand the industry and create a strong network with people working in the field of technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-choosing-the-global-immersion-week-in-berlin\">Choosing the Global Immersion Week in Berlin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sebastian had the choice between Amsterdam and Berlin. While he ultimately settled for Berlin, the decision wasn\u2019t taken lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen thinking about tech companies in Amsterdam, it\u2019s mostly the big tech companies that come to my mind. When you think about Berlin, you might think of startups, but in reality Berlin has a mix of both.\u201d<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And make no mistake\u2014Sebastian\u2019s trip to undertake the Global Immersion Week in Berlin was all business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYeah, I did the Global Immersion Week the same place I lived before. It\u2019s funny. I lived in Berlin and I chose to go to Berlin. I mean, I was planning to go back to Germany anyway.

There were around 8 to 10 companies, and they invited us to their offices, made presentations and really took their time to explain their work. We got a tour of the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tesla.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> Tesla<\/a> factory, which was really interesting. You learned more about the industries and what they had to offer. All the different positions were much clearer after the trip.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it was the Palo Alto Networks&#8217; careers presentation that stood out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen Palo Alto presented, it was a graduate from our program. He gave a very persuasive presentation of Palo\u00a0Alto Networks, on what they do and what their vision is\u2014we also had a great class on cybersecurity during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/school-science-technology\/programs\/master-in-computer-science-and-business-technology\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Master in Computer Science &amp; Business Technology<\/a> from a professor called Bechara Kaddoum. The Palo Alto presentations were very, very compelling.
