Georg Hammer, MBA 2024 and winner of the German Engineer Scholarship

As an engineer, pursuing a master’s in business administration might not seem like the most natural path. After my master’s degree however, my career shifted towards consulting, and I solidified the goal of pursuing an MBA at IMD. Receiving the offer to study at IMD, coupled with the German engineering scholarship, was a great honor, Post-MBA, my goal is to contribute to the transformation of manufacturing industries towards more sustainable products and processes, aligning with broader societal needs.
