The IB program has given me an international perspective most of all.
Could you tell us a little about your current job?
“I am currently working at Engibex, an engineering and R&D consulting company. My position is that of Business Manager; I am the direct contact with the accounts and consultants. In a way, I am the link between the minds and the business around R&D projects.”
How did the IB programme contribute to your career?
“The IB program has given me an international perspective most of all. My Erasmus in the Netherlands and my internship in the United States have brought an international approach to everything I do in my job.”
Is your job meaningful to you?
“Being in the (engineering) people business means making an impact on people's lives while supporting Belgian R&D projects. Sometimes I wish I could work on some of these projects myself, but for now, I feel like I'm developing into a person who will have more impact in the future.”
Did IB change your life?
“I feel like the IB experience was an amazing opportunity to study and work abroad that would have been more difficult to experience in another programme, there is definitely a part of me that has changed thanks to this experience”
A last advice for our students?
“The IB is a good path to take if you see yourself growing in this increasingly internationalized world we live in. It was without a doubt one of the best years of my life.”
