More than a year later, we take stock of how and why the choice to attend a demanding Master&#8217;s degree such as the MBA has changed your life and career.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell us about your career path<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My professional career started at <\/span><b>Accenture<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, where I worked for about 17 years. I immediately joined the <\/span><b>marketing department,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> managing national and international sports and cultural sponsorships. I then moved on to take care of <\/span><b>go-to-market positioning projects <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for clients and, later, <\/span><b>strategic marketing<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the product division. I then joined <\/span><b>Biesse Group <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8211; one of the clients I was following on digital and IoT (Internet of Things) issues, as a consultant &#8211;<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">as Group Trade Marketing Manager. In this role, I coordinated <\/span><b>strategic marketing activities<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for all distributors in over 50 countries, defining the strategy and go-to-market for all B2B and B2B2C activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You recently became Marketing Director of Tesisquare, a leading supply chain solutions company. How much has your choice to continue your education at BBS affected your professional growth?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Obtaining the Master&#8217;s degree had an impact on several factors. First of all, because of the <\/span><b>multidisciplinary<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> preparation I received, I broadened my analytical expertise on relevant factors such as <\/span><b>finance<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>management control<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the <\/span><b>supply chain <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">world, and many other subjects I had only superficial notions of. Furthermore, the relevance of the title and the business school certainly helped the head-hunter&#8217;s initial selection in finding suitable profiles for the proposed role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do you see as the strengths of the Part-time MBA at BBS?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several strengths of this MBA. To list the main ones, first and foremost, <\/span><b>the team of professors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> such as Riccardo Silvi and Fabio Ancarani. Their <\/span><b>enthusiasm and very high level of professionalism<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> accompanied us throughout our studies, which lasted almost two years. I have only mentioned a couple of professors because they are the ones I have bonded with most. Still,<\/span><b> all the teachers with not only a university background but also a business background<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> represented the greatest strength of my path. I also appreciated the direct contact with the <\/span><b>manufacturing realities of the region<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the testimonials from external managers and the <\/span><b>business school network<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Last, the <\/span><b>Alumni programme <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is an excellent opportunity for anyone who wants to get back into the game.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You are an active and valuable BBS Community member and a former Student Council co-chair. What did that experience teach you, and what is the added value of belonging to a Community like Bologna Business School?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Entering the BBS world as a student representative was <\/span><b>an honour and a formative experience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Among the various activities I carried out, I managed communication with all the students during the lockdown, when lectures were temporarily transferred to a distance learning format instead of classroom presence. Being part of the community allowed me to <\/span><b>establish human and professional relationships<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that enriched and accompanied me during and after my studies and to enter an international and stimulating reality of people with very high-level backgrounds. Thanks to the BBS&#8217;s countless initiatives, events, conferences, etc., you are constantly updated on highly topical business issues. Above all, you can compare different realities, but with the lowest common denominator of <\/span><b>increasing your managerial skills<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> each time. In conclusion, I suggest that all who feel like getting back into the game consider a Master&#8217;s degree in BBS. Although it is a crucial and demanding professional decision, <\/span><b>it is the correct answer to broaden one&#8217;s horizons and get back into the game<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in today&#8217;s working environment, which requires constant updating.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Massimiliano Basile, an Alumnus of the MBA Part-time (Weekend) at BBS and now Marketing Director at Tesisquare, immediately distinguished himself within the BBS Community, becoming co-president of the Student Council.
