Family Businesses: Marco Trada, from family business to Microsoft

Family Businesses seriesToday we are launching our ‘Family Businesses’ series, where we speak to MBA students who have worked or are working in their family firms. We hear how Marco Trada, Head of Digital Stores and E-commerce: Mediterranean Region at Microsoft, transitioned from working in his family business to one of the world’s largest corporate companies. Marco talks to us about why he chose to change direction, the elements of his MBA which were most helpful in making the switch, and what it’s really like working at one of the world’s best known companies.About Us Many students come to an MBA from banking, consulting, or MNC backgrounds, but what about those that don’t? The Modern MBA podcast with Marie Kirwan and Kristen Rossi shares the stories of those transitioning from or using their MBAs in unorthodox MBA sectors including the arts, healthcare, not-for-profit, academia, and more.Website: http://www.themodernmba.co.ukSubscribe: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google PodcastsFollow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and TwitterPodcast Music Credit:Limit 70, courtesy of Kevin MacleodSupport the show
