I have always been a creative and curious person, open to change and interested in progress in every area.<!--more-->In particular, I have always been fascinated by\u00a0<strong>emerging technologies<\/strong>\u00a0related to the human resource field, and I am interested in understanding how technology could replace\u00a0human presence\u00a0in some tasks. I wanted to learn how to\u00a0<strong>manage innovation<\/strong>\u00a0and how to be a\u00a0supporter of innovation in the professional environment.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, when I decided to change my career in this direction, I had no doubt that the\u00a0<a href=\"\/hp\/?p=7587\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Global MBA Innovation Management<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0was the perfect choice\u00a0for me.<\/p>\n<p>An MBA in the Country of my dreams, entirely focused on innovation and entirely taught in English: I could not ask for better! Since childhood,\u00a0I always dreamt\u00a0of living abroad, and<strong>\u00a0Italy was at the top of my list<\/strong>\u00a0since I had visited it in 2015. So, when I did a targeted research on training centers within Europe, I got to know BBS thanks to the prestige of its Faculty and its academic programs. The proposed training course has allowed me to\u00a0<strong>develop a 360-degree view of how a company works<\/strong>, an aspect that I believe remains the starting point for undertaking a solid and constantly evolving career.<\/p>\n<p>To all this we add the international context that reigns in the beautiful\u00a0<strong>Villa Guastavillani<\/strong>\u00a0where BBS is based: I love meeting people from all over the world and with different backgrounds, assimilating new cultures and networking. I was able to find all these\u00a0aspects during the Global MBA in Innovation Management, which have given enormous added value to the whole experience.<\/p>\n<p>It was a crucial phase for me that allowed me to get to know my limits and aspirations, to\u00a0<strong>work on my strengths<\/strong>\u00a0and to test myself in the most diverse contexts as a person and as a professional. After the Global course\u00a0my career has taken a completely new path, which I would not have even hoped for a few months earlier. Three days after the end of the courses, I started a 5-month internship in the\u00a0<a id=\"LPlnk233680\" href=\"https:\/\/www.technogym.com\/it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\"><strong>Technogym<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0training and development division in the HR team: the leading company in the production of sports and leisure equipment founded in 1983 in Cesena.<\/p>\n<p>The internship was a great experience which\u00a0opened other doors for me: during January 2019\u00a0I joined the\u00a0<a id=\"LPlnk250376\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ferrettigroup.com\/en-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\"><strong>Ferretti Group<\/strong><\/a>, world leader in the design, construction and marketing of yachts based in Forl\u00ec, as an\u00a0HR Generalist Intern, before being contacted by\u00a0<strong>Massimo Ciociola<\/strong>\u00a0the CEO and Co-Founder\u00a0of\u00a0<a id=\"LPlnk654544\" href=\"https:\/\/www.musixmatch.com\/it\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\"><strong>Musixmatch<\/strong><\/a>, based in Bologna, t<span style=\"color: #222222;\">he Music data intelligence company having clients such as\u00a0Google, Apple, Facebook, Instagram, and\u00a0Amazon.\u00a0<\/span>Here, as Talent Acquisition Manager for the company, I manage the\u00a0staff resources, the community, and I\u00a0am responsible for all talent acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>My stage at BBS was crucial for the professional development\u00a0of my career: I can only advise all prospective students to undertake their journey with an open mind, and to be curious and hungry for new knowledge.
