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! »

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.

Listen to Vasily, who shares his MBA journey with us.

With a rich background in Economics, he has 12 years of versatile experience in business development across construction, import/export, and IT/digital sectors.

His achievements in the IT and digital arena are notable: founding Russia’s first pre-order and takeaway service, launching the country’s largest contemporary art marketplace with integrated augmented reality technology—a project highlighted by Forbes; and developing a comprehensive digital product for one of Russia’s leading banks. This product, a first-of-its-kind ecosystem, encompasses a real estate classifieds platform with online purchasing and mortgage application capabilities, as well as online renovation management services.

Eager to embrace new challenges, Vasily is now focused on establishing a digital business startup in Monaco while finishing his MBA with us.
