“Before doing the MSc Global Supply Chain Management & Procurement I had been working for seven years as a warehouse supervisor in procurement at an oil and gas company in Abu Dhabi. I came to SKEMA to reach my career goals. It’s been a great experience for different reasons: first of all, since my arrival, I have enjoyed the academic environment and appreciated lectures from practising professionals sharing their experience in their field of expertise. The multicultural classes have helped me get used to working and interacting with people from different nationalities. Not only have I acquired the expected knowledge but I also met great people among classmates and professional teachers. The friends I have met and the relationships I have made are priceless and will last a lifetime. I’m now doing a four-month internship with Total as a purchasing trainee in the Procurement & Purchasing department." As of October 2013, Mohammed is working as vendor registration engineer and procurement specialist for Dolphin Energy, United Arab Emirates
