Miguel Makin

Brillantmont student from 1997 to 2001

 

“If I think off all those years (four) I see many faces, many memories stand out. Sometimes I sit down and I look back, and I ask myself what would have happened if I had not had the chance to go to BM? Probably, I would not have become what I am and would not have achieved what BM taught me 12 years ago!

One special thing that BM gave me was special friendships with people who became like family (particularly in my case with Nicolas Hildenbrand and his family). Besides all the education and academics, Brillantmont taught me about life and the importance of respect. I'm very proud to be a member of the enormous BM family!

 

 

After I had to say goodbye, I moved to Montreux, to Hotel School where I studied Tourism & Hotel Management. After a short experience in the industry as a purchasing supervisor for a Hotel chain, I moved back to Switzerland to do a Degree in Business Administration after which, I moved back home to work in a local Bank for another short period before I joined Philip Morris. I kept studying for a little while, achieving my Masters Degree in Business Administration and Marketing and soon I will start studying for a degree in Political Science.

I have worked for Philip Morris for almost five years and have had the chance to travel and work in different affiliates in Portugal, Spain, Belgium, Andorra and the Canary Islands with different responsibilities in Marketing, Sales, Logistics and International projects.

I want to say thank you to the BM family with all my heart for doing your job with passion and enthusiasm. Thanks for being patient, for your understanding and for believing in me!”
