Important Tips
Ingrid Millán, MEXICO
MBA Class of 2013Associate Partner at McKinsey, New York
“ As part of the programme, I was a summer associate with McKinsey back home in Mexico. This meant I had the opportunity to try out the job and find the best possible place to fulfill my personal and professional goals. I have recently reached Associate Partner level in the New York office, and it’s a fantastic feeling to be doing what I love since graduation. Over my 18 months at ESADE I have built strong bonds with people which I am now proud to consider some of my closest friends. I learned from my international classmates and incredible professors and gathered tools that have helped me to succeed at what I do. The close connection with top international businesses on and off campus is a clear advantage to finding the right fit within a Firm.”
Anna Bernadó, SPAIN
MBA Class of 2016Senior Business Development Manager at Amazon, Germany
“ The ESADE MBA is a transformational experience; I’m still the same person but better-infinitely more capable, more self-confident in my abilities and better prepared. Coming from an MBA like ESADE’s which “breaks the rules” of the traditional MBA, I truly believe I have come away with the tools to be anything and achieve anything I put my mind to. I am currently on Amazon’s MBA programme in Munich and wear my ESADE ‘backpack’ everyday as I go about my meetings and day-to-day tasks.”
Stephan Droste, GERMANY
MBA Class of 2017Consultant at The Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Dubai
“ I was set on making the MBA experience at ESADE as life-changing as possible; if I could make change, the challenge for me was to see just how much. I have gone from a managerial role at Lufthansa in my native Germany to a consultancy role in Dubai for BCG and I couldn’t be happier - it’s about as different a career as I could have hoped for. I was lucky enough to be awarded ESADE’s 2017 Collaborative Spirit Ambassador Scholarship, which to me proves that the MBA is much more than just about numbers, ROI and a means to an end, but a direct result of what you put in.”
