Victoire LONGFORT BERTOLOTTI
Bachelor Marketing & Communication
I opted for the specialization in Marketing and Communications due to the natural appeal that the area has for me as well as the variety to the courses that are taught. We are lucky enough to benefit from semesters providing comprehensive content that cover many different approaches to marketing and communications.
I am currently working as a Project Manager in work-study mode at Extime Duty Free Paris, a subsidiary of the Lagardère Travel Retail group. My role entails finding solutions on a daily basis to drive forward projects within the company, thanks in no small part to the courses delivered at Paris School of Business.
