Alumni Success Story – David Jakabovic

Listen to David Jakabovic, who shares his incredible journey in the yachting industry and how IUM played a pivotal role in making it all possible.

For those of you who dream of a career on the high seas, this video is for you!

David currently works at Morley Yachting. But how did this young professional land this dream job? The answer: the MSc in International Management degree from IUM.

He said: « before IUM, I wasn’t sure where to start. That’s where IUM stepped in. They not only provided me with the knowledge and skills I needed to succeed in the international business world of yachting, but they also helped me secure my very first internship!

Now, buckle up, because here’s the coolest part: My entire class at IUM was a melting pot of cultures. Every single person came from a different country. This incredible diversity opened my eyes to a whole new world of perspectives.

We learned from each other, challenged each other’s thinking, and tackled problems together. This cross-cultural experience truly prepared me for the collaborative and international nature of the yachting industry.

I learned how different cultures approach decision-making, problem-solving, and even basic business interactions. This global mindset is invaluable in today’s yachting world.

So, if you’re passionate about yachting and want to set sail for a successful career, then I highly recommend checking out IUM’s International Management program. It could be your launching pad for an amazing journey, just like it was for me! »

Alumni Success Story – Benjamin Franco

Benjamin began in real estate as a sales assistant for a boutique brokerage firm on the Upper East Side while studying International Business. His passion for bespoke client services led him to then sell exotic cars for Ferrari and Jaguar/Land-Rover, before leaving the United States to earn his Master’s Degree in Luxury Business Management from IUM.

Since returning stateside in 2018, his focus has been serving the marketing and design needs of preeminent Manhattan developers in new luxury residential construction.

Drawing on his 10+ years of expertise advising on luxury lifestyle purchases, Benjamin excels at building exceptional client relationships and is a master in the art of negotiation. His love of New York City inspired him to join Douglas Elliman and raise the bar on the quality of service he could offer to his buyers and sellers.

Outside of consulting for his clients, he is always finding an excuse to head back to Monaco – his self-proclaimed second home, roaming the Upper East Side for architectural gems and diligently studying Italian.

MBA Voices – David Pfeil

Listen to David, an American who shared his MBA journey with us.

? Why have you decided to join the Monaco MBA?
Professionally, I have been looking to expand my career internationally, but I have not had the opportunity with previous roles. While I can’t change the past, I can change the future, so I researched English programs with a solid international cohort and faculty. That is how I found IUM, where even the location is an internationally diverse profile. In class, global and cultural dynamics are part of the curriculum, and I am also working on team projects with students worldwide. The international exposure and opportunities have exceeded my expectations and are a highlight of my time here in Monaco.

? What are the strong features of this program?
IUM created a program incorporating marketing, finance, business, luxury, economics, global policy, entrepreneurship, strategy, and more. The classes build on each other to support the concepts and practices presented to provide a well-rounded and complete package. Each professor is a leader in their field, very passionate about their area of expertise, and clearly enjoys sharing their wisdom and knowledge with us. In addition to teaching, most also work in the area where they teach and share their global experience. They are also great people who consult with us on business ideas, provide travel insights, or enjoy a fun lunch discussion.

? What do you like the most in your IUM journey?
The Monaco experience has been fantastic. I have met amazing people at the school and the Principality who have access to the broader European experience and mindset and are surrounded by innovative thought leaders in the heart of luxury. I could not have this experience at the school in my hometown. My worldview has grown and made a positive, lasting impact. Monaco must be experienced in person.

David has over 25 years of experience in agency and Fortune 100 corporate marketing, where he has grown his expertise in leadership and delivering tangible results. Prior to IUM, he earned a bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering from Purdue University.
