#“Professional success presumes astrong understanding of theorganization and its ecosystem. Trainedas a scientist, I lacked the fundamentalsof management and strategy, andneeded a program to prepare me to abusiness-oriented career. I was seducedby the multidimensional, multi-cultural,yet grounded aspects of the MS SMIB. I particularly liked the case studies thatallowed for rich class discussion andexchanges of views reflecting thediversity of culture and background ifthe SMIB students. True to my scientificupbringing, I eventually decided tospecialize in finance. I now work inLondon as a financial strategyconsultant in a truly internationalenvironment.”Damien GUICHARD, Class of 2002Consultant in financial strategy(Schroder Salomon Smith Barney,London)

“After my civil engineering Master’sdegree from l’École des Mines deNancy, I chose ESSEC Business School.I was impressed by the academicexcellence and the wide scope ofsubjects. The programme is designedas real business preparation and covershigh-level management, strategy andfinance. The ESSEC MS SMIB programhas helped me to develop my long-term goals and it will also help me tocompete in the current market wherelots of companies are shrinking andyou need to learn how to create value”.Aurélien FATTORECurrent student Class of 2009Internship in the Strategy Development(GDF-SUEZ)

# “Considering my future orientation, I long hesitated between an engineering and a businesseducation. The Advanced Master in Strategy and Management of International Business gaveme the opportunity to reconcile the two. After graduating as an engineer, I joined the MSSMIB, Latin American track. Strategy, marketing, financial management, once just words tome, quickly became associated with theories and business practices. Armed with my newlyacquired management knowledge, I embarked on the Latin American adventure, spending 4 months in Monterrey, Mexico. It gave me a unique international perspective. I was exposedto new ways of learning, a world class faculty, and the brightest international students. Itboosted my interest in Latin America and strengthened my language skills. I now feelprepared for an international career, and confident in my professional future.”Adrien BUREAU, Class of 2007, “Latin American track”

Specific courseswere offered:Negociation andCommunication in aMulticultural World,International PoliticalEconomy, International Financeand Trade, Regional BusinessEnvironment in North Americaand Global Strategy. Sharingcourses with some sixtydifferent nationalities andnegociating with a Colombian,an American, a Japanese, anda German was a particularlyenriching experience.

My stayat Thunderbird also gave methe chance to meet a largenumber of companies duringthe Internship Fair and find aproject with AbbottLaboratories in Chicago.
