During the year, I completely revised my working methods, personal behavior and communication techniques, and have improved my management skills and efficiency enormously. As a graduate from an engineering school, the International MBA has driven my career to a very high level of international management. Today, as project manager for one of the largest solar cell manufacturers in the world, I deal with technical, financial and legal issues at an international level for each step of our projects, while keeping the group s Executive Board informed.
