Testimony
Charlotte HAMEL
Cloud Sales Specialist, Microsoft
I joined Paris School of Business following secondary studies in Science and then took the Master in Marketing Insights & Data Analytics Strategy specialization in my fourth year. My last year of the
Masters was rich in learning opportunities thanks to my work-study at SAP France working as a business engineer.
Paris School of Business enabled me to exchange ideas with outstanding and enthusiastic professors. They passed on to me the knowledge and tools needed to make the difference within a company. The various salons and seminars, namely the Cours Florent, coupled with the classes and chances to gain professional experience, mean that I am now a reactive, attentive, determined, and self-confident person.
