CAREER IMPACT
The Financier
“I discovered a passion for an industry I knew very little
about before I came to Hult, and secured a sponsored
role at Barclays in London.”
Have you always known what you wanted to do?
Before Hult, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do. Hult helped introduce me to an industry that is
practically non-existent in my home country.

How did you break into the finance industry?
Through the classes I took, joining the Finance Society, and the careers events and coaching
at Hult, I got to learn more about working in the finance industry. Through my electives I
developed a vast knowledge in terminology and asset management practices. This helped
me reach the final round of interviews for a major asset management firm—third out of 1,200
applicants. I’ve since accepted a role at Barclays, who have sponsored my U.K. work visa.
What is your advice to future students?
My advice for new students is not to worry about what you want to do just yet. Just worry about
who will be teaching you and where you will learn.
The Sports Specialist
“Almost everyone takes the easy path and tries to do the
same thing. If you have a passion, you have an advantage.
Capitalize on that.”
Why did you decide to study business?
After completing high school and suffering several injuries, I gave up my dreams of
competitive skiing. I decided to study business to keep my options open.

When did you launch your own ski wear brand?
It was about two years into my degree. When I arrived at Hult San Francisco, I met Professor
Hap Klopp—the founder of The North Face. I was sure the sportswear mogul would be far too
busy to help with my new business venture but Hap was an amazing professor and mentor. He
has been the godfather of the business and introduced me to his partners and designers, who
have helped with our latest collection.
How has your passion for sports influenced your career choices?
After graduating from Hult, I landed a one-year internship with GoPro in Munich. Now I work
at Real Madrid C.F. as a video specialist. The mindset I learned at Hult has helped me build a
career based on my passions.
