Dave Minicola
University of British Columbia, Exchange to HEC,
Independent Consultant

“I was part of an exchange program at HEC in France through the University of British Columbia and was searching for opportunities in Europe. Leaving a great job pre-MBA in software development, I was interested in consulting and finance, and the post-MBA internal consulting position with Credit Suisse provided both industry-specific and general business experience that I can now apply to any endeavor as a consultant. In addition, the European location allowed the opportunity to improve my skills in several languages before I returned to Canada.”
