Companies come to Hult to recruit, collaborate, and educate Hult Blog

At Hult, the emphasis is on the business the part of business school. Our programs are designed in consultation with CEOs, our students work on real problems facing real companies, collaborate with game-changing organizations, and the world’s leading corporates and most exciting startups are a constant presence on campus. Here are just a few of the companies that we’ve had the pleasure of  welcoming  on campus so far this term: London PwC – Hult Master of International Business  alum Marc Seipp, a Management Consultant at PwC, bought the â€Å"PwC Pitch Challenge† back to Hult’s London campus for the second year running. A select group of students devise a solution to a real clients’ problem and compete in a â€Å"pitch off†. It’s a unique opportunity to practice winning the business in the first instance, rather than reflecting back on case studies in the classroom. It’s also a great networking opportunity. As Marc says: â€Å"A huge network being established at Hult that we can all leverage and build. It’s not just about receiving; it’s about contributing and creating a community of like-minded professionals. A business school is not just about education; it’s also about the network and the opportunity.† Marc Seipp, Hult MIB Class of 2013, Management Consultant at PwC Amazon David Domene graduated from Hult in 2014 and is now an Area Manager for Amazon.

I learned a lot about myself and how I deal with being out of my comfort zone. I learned both soft and hard skills, from how to work in very diverse teams to key accounting metrics and strategy. I was surprised by how weak I was at certain tasks in English or how strong I actually was in other areas. Hult gave me opportunities to try new things and meet people from places I never thought I would have friends. . My internship experiences gave me the chance to broaden my view of different cultures and different companies. I had the opportunity to work and live with people whose values differed from people in my home country. I thought that this would be difficult, but it gave me the chance to reflect on my own values and assess if they were a result of my home country environment or if they were intrinsically mine. .

It taught me a lot about how I see people, how people see me, and how conflict can be resolved in a kind and productive way.

I’ve completely reversed my leadership style—the result is so much richer and more powerful when you lead from behind and lead with strength. . Studying in tandem with working, whilst challenging, gave me the perfect platform to directly apply learning concepts into my business environment, the competitive landscape, and the real-estate industry as a whole.

I knew that I’d have likely stayed in my neighborhood for years to come if I didn’t take this opportunity. I’d not lived or studied outside of the U.S. before. So I left my job as a global strategist at an advertising agency and moved halfway around the world. I’ve come back a more culturally aware, well-versed person. I’ve realized that everything is a learning experience and an opportunity for growth. Ill definitely carry this mindset with me into the future. Technology and social media allow us to be different people in several places at once. Im excited to see how I can establish myself in whatever city Ill be lucky enough to call home and still maintain deep connections with people all over the world. I’m inspired by my classmates every day. Hearing some of their life stories and how getting this degree fits into their greater mission has been very humbling. My biggest challenge has been finding the ‘right’ path for me. There have been rooms Ive felt like I shouldnt be in, but now Im proud to feel as though I truly belong, wherever I am.† .
