Joanna

Master MBA in International Management

Promotion 2017-2018

This comprehensive business management programme has helped me a lot to reconstruct my professional career in the B2B commercial field in a highly competitive French job market.

What are the highlights of the program of the MBAIM?

Having graduated with a good level of French learned from scratch thanks to the additional intensive language course of 300 hours provided in the programme, I integrated Thrustmaster Hercules SAS, part of Guillemot Corporation; first as an account manager for CEE CIS market.

How has your education at IGR-IAE Rennes helped you in your career?

Since 2022 I work as Head of Sales Export Department with a responsibility of 4 regions, over 35 countries and managing an international team of 8, consisting of Key Account and regional managers.

Liaising daily with a variety of departments (sales, marketing, trade marketing, finance, legal, logistics and administration), I appreciate the knowledge gained during my very intensive year at IGR, as it allowed me to understand the big picture of how the complex international business structure functioned and helped me to effectively communicate across the organisation.
