Hanken’s Master’s program in Supply Chain Management and Social Responsibility accelerated my career development by equipping me with theoretical frameworks for structured and objective problem-solving. During the program, numerous relevant case studies were conducted to put theory into practice. This foundation is widely applicable and therefore future-proof, regardless of how my career progresses. Moreover, the connections and alumni network have been invaluable to me. Currently, I work as Sales Director at DSV – the world’s largest logistics and transportation company.
