Natalia Riera
For me, the most important skills to bring to your work are: organization, communication, and networking. This is what I have learned during my time working in the digital marketing department at Nike’s European headquarters. Thanks to the IE Career Portal, I was able to apply for the job at Nike where I now apply my creative skills to positively impact the company. IE University encourages all its students to foster an entrepreneurial mindset from day one and this has definitely helped me to achieve professional success. At IE University, I learned how to apply this spirit to drive change and ambition. I am keeping my options for the future open, and I have IE University to thank, for preparing me to be able to conquer any career path I choose, be it managerial or entrepreneurial.
