Testimonials from Companies

Testimonial

Chris Konstantinou, Managing Partner, Deloitte Greece

"ALBA has been a major source for talent for Deloitte Consulting in Greece over the last 10 years. We have recruited many ALBA graduates and the majority of them progressed rapidly through the ranks of our Firm, getting promoted to managerial positions. We have found that ALBA students come out of their studies with a well rounded, practical business education which allows them to think critically, "act" on their feet, and actually use common sense. Many of them, although they may not have extensive work experience, are knowledgeable and appear, through their school work, to have been exposed to 'real life' situations from which they draw useful and relevant experiences. Also, most of them distinguish themselves for the exceptional communication skills (both oral and written) they have developed. Overall, I believe ALBA is probably the best training ground for future consultants."

"At Microsoft we see ALBA graduates as an important source for acquiring our future talent. That's why we have a considerable community of ALBA graduates working in many different positions and at all levels of our hierarchy. They develop their careers rapidly in an international and dynamic environment working on complex and challenging positions and projects. People who have graduated from ALBA have a set of skills and values that make them valuable for every organization."

Testimonial

Constantine Petropoulos, Chairman of the Board, Petropoulos P. Ltd.

"ALBA has been successful in creating agents of change in Greek business and society. I have seen quite a few ALBA graduates in the business environment, at our company. Executives in other companies confirm my observations as well. ALBA graduates have some common characteristics that make them stand out: They work hard; they are ambitious; they are keen to learn and they thrive in being evaluated. They give the impression of being self-reliant, people who believe that their advancement in society depends mainly on themselves."

Testimonial

Dimitris Papalexopoulos, Managing Director, TITAN Group

"ALBA provides a breadth of fresh air in the traditionally inward-looking Greek business education. For a company such as TITAN, with a strategy focused on expanding internationally, ALBA graduates possess a valuable combination of technical skills, practical know-how and an international perspective. ALBA graduates are well-prepared to drive necessary culture changes in Greek businesses, as Greece gradually integrates into the global economy."

Testimonial

Elena Papadopoulou, Human Resources Director, COSMOTE SA

"COSMOTE has always attracted high calibre graduates because of its profile and leading position in the telecommunications industry. At COSMOTE we want good ambassadors for our company, people who bring their own skills and competencies to the role, and ALBA produces focused and disciplined graduates with the mix of skills and attributes desired by our business."
