Valeria Rojas Nastrucci
Maintenance Coordinator, Philip Morris International
Global MBA, Innovation Management/Mechanics and Automation, a.y. 2016/2017

After 6 years of experience as an engineer in the areas of maintenance and production, I felt energized and ready to join a program where I could continue learning the tools needed to be specialized in that area. In 2016 I decided to continue my academic growth, and this leads me to the Bologna Business School, specifically, to the Global MBA Innovation Management, Mechanics, and Automation; where I found exactly what I was looking for. After completing the program, I gained the essential skills that allowed me to keep working in an area that is highly rewarding for me in an international company in Italy.

BBS is hugely rewarding because it not only gives a world class MBA programme that covers relevant topics taught by some of the best minds from across the world, it also forces one to grow in many other ways because of its unique location, culture and emphasis on leadership. I would go back in a heartbeat.

My experience at BBS has reshaped my lifestyle and helped me achieve balance between my long-term career development and my everyday life. Fascinated by minds of scholars and colleagues from every corner of the world in class, I was equally inspired by the food and street musicians off class. A special bonus: I now speak Italian. La vita è veramente bella a Bologna!
