“ESADE strengthened my international upbringing and taught me valuable things that I will exploit from day one at Nestlé. Classes such as Investment, Cross-Cultural Management and International Strategy have been key in helping me convince Nestlé that I was the right person for their sought-after international audit position. My job will now consist of travelling the world and inspecting the 440+ facilities that Nestlé owns over 100+ countries. Everyday will bring challenging tasks and require me to meet, talk and exchange with new people. One of my best memories at ESADE was the CEMS Business Project with INIBSA, where we really got a sense of what working in the ‘real world’ is all about. I learned a lot during this project and I believe that ESADE prepared me well to work in a multi-cultural environment. ”Boris Lovenfosse Fouarge International Auditor, Nestlé Master in International Management + CEMS MIM alumnus

Barcelona & Campus lifeA state-of-the-art campus in an international city for tomorrow’s business leaders.The reputation of Barcelona as a vibrant Mediterranean city for the arts, architecture and culture, needs no introduction; however, it is important to point out that Barcelona is Iberia’s most important industrial centre and the Mediterranean’s chief seaport. Through recent additions to our research and development portfolio, Barcelona is fast becoming one of Europe’s primary scientific research hubs.

With many Spanish and international corporations based in Barcelona, and wide ranging state incentives for start-ups, the city presents powerful arguments as a base from which to embark on an international career in business.

“Choosing the right school for your studies shapes your future career and relies on several factors. ESADE business school manages to combine those which matter most: A vigorous program located in a fascinating city and a university with a solid reputation! It was these key factors which led me to choose ESADE, and, the fact that ESADE ranked highly, gave me the reassurance that I had made the best choice. ESADE classes are culturally diverse and the courses focus to a great degree on ‘real case’ scenarios, enhancing the overall class experience. In addition, initiatives such as the international Study Tour, help students come to grips with the context of “doing business globally”, where they participate in seminars and visits to companies. Nevertheless, the experience does not stop once you graduate. ESADE creates a very strong global contact network, bolstered by Career Services who are on hand to help students find the job that is suitable to them.The overall experience was of great value to me, elevating me both academically and personally. ”Evangelia Louli Master in Marketing Management + CEMS MIM Greece

“ESADE gave me the edge I needed to perform in the competitive environment that is the fashion industry. The professors challenged my capabilities on a regular basis and encouraged me to take my career a step further. I knew that coming to New York would be tough and demanding, but I’m currently at the happiest stage of my ‘solution life cycle’. Also, not only did ESADE give me knowledge, it also provided me with the necessary dose of Internationality that every successful professional must have. And that is what I treasure the most!On a personal level, my fondest memory of ESADE is of the PEOPLE and the place. Whether it was spending time in the library until dawn to finish off a project, giving presentations on a daily basis or meeting the challenge of a deadline; I loved it all. My fondest memory though relates to the people I met, today they are lifelong friends! ”Victor de Vitta Master in Marketing alumnus PR Assistant. Sigerson Morrison NYC
