After three years of experience in a FinTech company as a functional consultant, I decided to start a new adventure and challenge myself on different levels, personal and professional. I chose to pursue an MBA degree at ESCP Business School to develop my knowledge in International Management and embark on an international career path, but not only.

We use Company Consultancy Projects at ESCP in two ways: as input for our projects and, at the same time, as a recruitment tool.

During the last few years we have carried out Company Consultancy Projects regularly in the areas of marketing or communication strategies and human resources. The quality of the results and the commitment of the students have been excellent - so much so that we hired some of the students involved.
