MAI - Innovation & International Purchasing programme testimonials

"I decided to join the MAI because I wanted to  join fast moving consumer goods companies,and have an international career, with a well reputated Master of Science. The MAI was my first choice and allowed me to travel, have a lot of international career opportunities such as in Procter & Gamble, and Henkel, for my internships, and then to move forward to global procurement roles in Europe. I'm currently a group lead buyer at BNP Paribas. I'm responsible for the group'sgeneral services for fleet management  and linguistic services with AI integration: I need to communicate and to  animate local communities to help local  buyers, and set up global strategies to make sure that this performance category is efficient  in terms of costs and innovation capture."

“This programme has been truly enriching thanks to the diversity and expertise of the speakers, who generously shared their backgrounds and experience. Their varied perspectives and real-life cases enabled me to deepen my understanding of the challenges and practices within the field of procurement. This immersion also gave me the opportunity to explore different approaches and strategies that will be invaluable in my future career. After graduating, my goal is to pursue a career in procurement [...] and continue developing within an international context.”

“At a time when most companies are concentrating on their core business, and where value creation and innovation are the keys to success, the strategic role of purchasing has become enormous. To my mind the MAI represents excellence in this field and it is not surprising that there is a huge demand for their students.”
