Linkedin profile 

Fabio Furlani - Italian
MCF 2023

My journey at the MCF marked a significant shift in my career trajectory. SDA Bocconi played a pivotal role in this transition, especially since I came from a different industry background. During my time at SDA Bocconi, I experienced continuous personal and professional growth. The program is intensive blending lectures, company presentations, guest speakers, and collaborative group projects in a fast-paced setting. This dynamic environment honed skills that extend beyond advanced academics, including effective time management, delegation, and fostering trust.

For me, one of the most enriching aspects was the diverse student body. This enriched daily interactions, providing valuable insights and perspectives. I built lifelong friendships and a unique professional network. Milan is a vibrant city that positively adds to the studying experience. There are plenty of activities for all interests, good food and nice weather that add up to the MCF experience.
