“After my graduation I came back to Italy and I got into the Finance and Administration team of an important Italian Food Company. Together with my other degrees, my Master’s gave me the basic knowledge of understanding the theory behind the activities. But mostly the mental flexibility to face different tasks with different purposes, and to deal with different people from different countries and backgrounds.”
