My professional journey started in EY consulting firm in Milan, after graduating with a Bsc in international economics and a Msc in general management at Bocconi University. I first approached consulting to further develop the soft and hard skills any good manager needs: the ability to work under pressure within strict deadlines and to always come up with a solution. During my two years as finance consultant, I had the possibility to travel and to experience the dynamicity of such a job, which enabled me to enrich my skills portfolio in terms of client relationships and familiarity with IT tools. Nevertheless, following my rooted attraction for the Luxury industry, I decided to enroll in SDA Bocconiās MAFED program, which revealed to be an unforgettable experience: from joining conferences on the latest business matters to networking with outstanding guest speakers, great CEOs and managers and, most of all, to establishing a deep bond with my classmates and future colleagues. Last month I started working in the Global Retail Merchandising team in Balenciaga HQ in Paris. I can claim that the environment is extremely stimulating and challenging, with intense schedules and rhythms which inevitably require a strong commitment. I realized how my experience in consulting provided me with the efficiency and speed to face the daily activities, while my specialized Master in SDA Ā Bocconi taught me the language and the technical knowledge needed to understand the Luxury and Fashion mechanism.
