«  The luxury major brought a greater sense of perspective to my job and helped me build a more strategic and structured approach. It has opened up new horizons - Luxury as a concept, a sector and a business model with an international perspective.  »
Even though I have been working in Luxury companies for 20 years, I decided to take the Major in Luxury in order to meet CEOs from successful companies and be able to compare strategies and key drivers in the luxury sector. Thanks to the program, I now have a better understanding of what retail and wholesale really mean in terms of distribution and business models. It has also enabled me to make a much clearer distinction between the luxury industries in Italy and in France.

I now understand the importance of governance, organization and management as well as the financial environment. Studying at the Bocconi Institute and exchanging with alumni who share the same focus was a truly unique experience. The luxury major brought a greater sense of perspective to my job and helped me build a more strategic and structured approach. The program has enabled me to develop a deeper and better understanding of key drivers in the world of luxury. It has opened up new horizons - luxury as a concept, a sector and a business model with an international perspective - and made me reconsider how to achieve my goals.
