Digital Marketing Manager, SAP

What was your career path like after graduation?
I received an offer for a full-time job at SAP, which is where I started working as an intern during my MBA studies. I have been happily working there since 2015.

I did my bachelor in marketing, and wanted to focus more on digital marketing, which is what I am currently doing.

What aspects of the MBA program would you tie to your success after graduation?
The MBA program at Hochschule Pforzheim has an excellent reputation; this is helpful when applying for jobs at top employers in the area. They receive myriads of applications, and being enrolled in quality programs helps to stand out among all of the applicants.

Also, the MBA Pforzheim collaborates with companies that are top employers in the area. I would recommend future students to take advantage of the network the program offers, working on company projects or internships can be a great way to get your foot in the door at a great company.

How has it been working in Germany since you finished the MBA program?
I've been fortunate to find a job that I like in a global company, all the intercultural competencies I learned during the MBA came in handy. Also, SAP has received many awards for being an awesome place to work, so I can only say that it has been a positive experience.
