Hear from our Alumni

I chose SUMAS because it’s very practical. I had the chance to work on different projects. At the Milan campus, I worked with Migros, which is a major supermarket chain in Switzerland, MUDEC, which is a famous museum in Milan and with the WBCSD (World Business Council for Sustainable Development).

Léa IacazziCarbon Compensation Portfolio consultant, EcoAct France

Sustainable Innovation is one course that did have an impact in choosing my current job. Having learnt about circular economy and waste disposal solutions in various sectors, it was easy for me to take the same knowledge and apply it in my work, as we deal with maritime waste disposal.

Giri PrasathBusiness Development Consultant, EnviroPorts, Netherlands

At SUMAS the professors are international and come directly from the field, and we have many industry projects, which provide us with a realistic understanding of how things work in the real world.

Adrian EhrenbergHR Social Sustainability Manager, MTU Aero Engines, Germany

The MBA has been a key enabler for me to develop skills in both management and sustainability. Sustainability is the future of business and will be a key driver of success for companies in the next decades.

Rossella MeoDirector of Operations, AWorld, Italy

The MBA in Sustainability Management has taught me what ‘sustainable’ really stands for. It has not only taught me a different approach in which business and sustainability can go hand in hand towards a sustainable future, but it has also taught me a new way of life.

Claudine De WeverEnvironmental Lawyer, Departement Omgeving, Belgium

The SUMAS MBA program represented for me an important boost to connect myself with the business world and to start creating my career.
