A career-transforming MBA

After more than 10 years' experience, including a 4-year expatriation to the UK, I wanted to broaden my C&B knowledge. As soon as I had obtained this qualification, I was given the opportunity to head up total rewards development for EMEA/APAC.

I enrolled to give a new impetus to my career. This career change has been a complete success, thanks to a varied team of speakers who shared their knowledge so skillfully.

In my opinion, the Institut Magellan offered the most comprehensive and interesting course.

As a lawyer with 20 years' HR experience in major international groups, this course enabled me to develop new C&B skills. It was thanks to this training that a new opportunity came about.

The program enabled me to strengthen my strategic and operational skills. It is a real asset in handling today's HR challenges.
