L-R: Francesca Anderl, Ana Maria Velica, Solène Le Digabel

Sussex Masters students on the Global Supply Chain and Logistics Management MSc have boosted their employability in workshops with industry experts from Nestlé and Sky.

Course leaders invited a trio of internationally acclaimed supply chain experts to challenge students in assessment centre-like interview workshops. All attendees were given valuable guidance by:

• Ana-Maria Velica (Head of Commercial Procurement, Nestlé UK & Ireland)
• Solene le Digabel (Procurement Manager - Marketing, Sky)
• Francesca Anderl (Strategic Digital Buyer, Nestlé UK & Ireland).

Students received tips and tricks for landing a job, as well as clear strategies on how to fit the needs of a talent-seeking multinational company, giving them distinctive edge for future interviews.

All in attendance enjoyed the interaction, with many students citing it a highlight of their experience at Sussex. 

The course attracts an internationally diverse set of students and its graduates are highly regarded in industry. Christopher Johnston, who graduated in 2017, landed an internship and subsequent placement at Nestlé under Ana-Maria's guidance and has since progressed to the role of Supply Stream Planner. 

Other recent alumni have joined organisations including Amazon, GSK, Google, Pfizer and Safran Group.
