"Being strategic and analytic are key skills which are developed in the IBE program and have been important in my everyday working life."

I work as a Marketing Specialist in Valmet Technologies in Jyväskylä, Finland which is world leader in developing and supplying technology, automation and services for pulp, paper and energy industries. My job focuses on digital marketing and development for the Services businesses which means ensuring external visibility of Services offerings and adopting technologies to serve our customers better. Prior to coming to Finland, I have worked for 8 years in the marketing field in the Philippines for different industries such as telecommunications, real estate and construction chemicals.

My decision to apply to the IBE program was due to the course offerings which I deemed necessary to grow further into my career. IBE offered a wide program to see different aspects of a businesses in an international setting. It was also very interesting for me to know I can take up other courses in JSBE to fit your specific area of interest. Being strategic and analytic are key skills which are developed in the IBE program and have been important in my everyday working life.
