Feedback from Galina Shten

When I graduated from the GB prorgramme I started working in Nizhny Novgorod. My education was the main driver for that, the future employers did not ask me about my achievements as my diploma spoke for itself. “You studied abroad? You have nice job experience working for Italian company, we take you”. I immediately started working and stayed at that company from August till March. I was a specialist in digital marketing, working simultaneously with the iProspect company operating in Moscow. Later I realized that I wanted something more, I wanted to work in an international company, and most importantly, I felt I could really do it, using English in my daily work. Thus I was invited to the iProspect company with which I worked before. My interview lasted only 5 minutes: "We know you, we are definitely taking you, and waiting for you here in Moscow.

So I started working in Moscow in the international holding company Dentsu Aegis Network Russia (formerly Aegis Media), one of the leaders of the advertising market at the global level. The agency specializes in building communications between customers, products and brands. I work with very large brands, such as Microsoft, Nestle, Astellas, Reebok. Currently I work with SunInBev (BUD brands, Hoegaarden, Corona), CentralPartnership (Paramount Pictures), L'Oreal Paris.

We often negotiate with the United States, meetings often take place in a foreign language, sometimes even in Italian. I chose it as a second foreign language during the program. Our Holding is international, with the headquarters in London, so we can move within the company and potentially relocate. It would be interesting to try myself in the future in the Milan office.

Now I would never have traded getting the Global Business degree for anything else. This is enormous experience in an international team with highly motivated fellow students and teachers of the highest caliber.
