Maverik Cascitelli
Business Consultant at Management Solutions
Maverik is an MIMG graduate currently working in Milan as a Business Consultant for an international business consulting firm with a worldwide presence. He chose the MIMG Programme primarily because of its “international environment and the top-tier academic level.” What he finds particularly important for his future career path was choosing “the minor specialization in NextGen Consulting, as it led him to start his postgraduate career in consulting.” During his last year at VSE, Maverik worked as an intern in SAP’s Financial Department as a Finance Operations Associate in Controlling. The environment in Prague’s offices was heavily international, and he says he did not need any knowledge of the Czech language to work there. After earning his Master’s, Maverik landed a job with the first company he applied to.

Mark Elgort
Scrum Master at MSD
Mark has been in the country for more than 9 years, and after getting his Bachelor’s from the University of Hradec Kralove, he entered the MiM Programme in 2020 to earn his Master’s. During his first job in IT analytics at Raiffeisen Bank, Mark was given an opportunity to try to get into MSD. He passed three rounds of interviews and ~160 people to get into the ETR programme (Emergent Talent Rotation), a program focused on developing young, prominent experts in IT and business. This program allows him to try out different roles across the company, with his first one being a Scrum Master in Agile Automation and AI and future ones being heavily centred around development and programming in pharmaceuticals.

Laura Fiorino
Customer Account Specialist at Exxon Mobile
Laura is an avid reader, spends a lot of time in the wilderness, and loves to travel and positively impact the world and people around her. During her studies, she held a brief part-time receptionist job in a gym but was forced to look elsewhere due to Covid when the gym was closed. She then worked as a student part-timer at Ipsos as Project Manager for about five months. After getting her Master’s in Management from VSE, multiple job offers landed her way within a month of graduation. She sees the language barrier in the Czech Republic in the sense that the lack of perfect knowledge of Czech limits people to landing jobs with only big corporations with English-friendly environments. She is employed in the Chemical Leadership dpt. with Exxon Mobile as a Customer Account Specialist and is open to networking if you have any questions.

Giovanni Pangrazzi
Business Trainee at ŠKODA AUTO
Wanting to get experience abroad after his Bachelor’s in Trento, his hometown in Italy, Giovanni moved to Prague for his Master’s in 2020. VSE caught his eye because of the rankings in MiM, plenty of postgraduate job opportunities (most of which do not require the candidates to know the Czech language as they are fully international) and the beautiful setting of the historical and metropolitan city of Prague. He held an Accounts Payable internship at MSD Czech Republic during his studies. Having fallen in love with the city, he extended his stay for a few years after earning his Master’s. It did not take long, and he landed a Trainee position in the Finance Managerial Development Program with Procter & Gamble. Later, in February 2023, he joined the Graduate Program at ŠKODA AUTO, with rotations across different departments.
