As a CEMS graduate in the making I am looking for exciting opportunities worldwide. With a clear passion for project management, consulting but also a heart for marketing, I see potential in many lines of work. Teamwork is my domain and my key skills are my organizational talent, out of the box thinking and drive. I believe diversity is important when it comes to professional experience and interests. I have furthermore gained extensive international experience in many regions of the world.
As a Student Consultant at NGC I could learn a new approach to consulting, by working in a virtual team to help a social organization overcome its business-related problems. NGC offered me insights to a different business mindset through working with a social enterprise and the chance to contribute to the society. My social project is called 'Life Project 4 Youth (LP4Y)' and is creating project centers across the Philippines, Vietnam, India and Indonesia to offer an 18-month integration ecosystem for excluded young adults living in extreme poverty. LP4Y volunteers, professional partners, universities and communities are sharing their skills to advance the social and professional integration of excluded youth. The project season opened with a seminar by a McKinsey consultant, who mentored my team for the duration of the project. My workstream focused on expanding the project to new locations in Asia (namely Nepal, Bangladesh and other cities in India), doing research and finding new local partners and sponsors. In return, LP4Y gave our team full access to their organizational mindset, culture and way of doing business, which was a very enriching experience.
