My choice

The idea was born 6 years ago, in my office as legal counsel in one of the most prestigious law firms in Buenos Aires, Argentina. “Changing my career?†I said to myself. “Why not?†I quit my job and the adventure began.

MIP was the right choice as it is located in the capital of fashion. It has a great multicultural environment, with students coming from more than 20 different nations every year. It also has a great network of companies that collaborate with the school, including companies in the luxury field, in which I was particularly interested.

Main takeaways from the MBA

  • I managed to change my career and make my dream come true. Nonstop from law to fashion industry!
  • I made unique friends.
  • I lived in my adored Italy and I got inspired by Milan, the capital of fashion.

Who I am

Argentinian by birth, Italian by choice. I am an unconventional professional with a solid background in consultancy and international experience in business development for the luxury sector.

After a successful experience in Jackie Smith (a leading player of the luxury handbags segment), I have been appointed as Head of Fashion at mercadolibre.com, the leading ecommerce company in Latin America (#11 in the world).

Allow me give you a simple tip: don’t be afraid of pursuing your dreams. Take risks, life is one-shot opportunity, and no matter how it goes you will never regret to have given it a try.
