How has your career developed since you left BSIS? 

Since my studies at BSIS, I have been on a very international journey, working on international business development and managing businesses in emerging markets. Previously as GM and Country manager, and the last few years as consultant and executive coach.

Do you think that your studies at BSIS helped with your career prospects? 

The studies opened up my horizon and gave me good insights into the development in the sphere of international politics and business. It has helped my understanding conflicts, different religions and cultural differences.

Do you think that BSIS is a good place to study international studies and if so why?

BSIS is a great place for international studies, as it is based in the “Capital of Europe” Brussels, where decisions on European policies are taken. Brussels is also the home of NATO and many UN organisations.

Would you recommend BSIS to potential students and if so what would you tell them?

Yes I would definitely recommend BSIS to students who are looking for a very mature international programme. I would tell them that they will meet a very interesting pool of students from all over the world, a very strong faculty and amazing guest speakers from top international organisations
