Adrijana Vinter, Global Head of Drug Discovery and Management Board Member at Selvita – from Researcher in the Laboratory to Company Management
COTRUGLI Business School brings together ambitious and successful professionals from various sectors and offers exceptionally high-quality MBA programs that open new career perspectives. The story of Adrijana Vinter is one of the best examples of how a COTRUGLI MBA can impact rapid professional and personal growth.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has,” are the words of Margaret Mead that I remember from the very beginning of the COTRUGLI MBA program, and to this day, I continue to find evidence that confirms this. Since 2002, I have been working as a scientist in drug discovery. After a few years, I decided to change my career and continue it outside the laboratory. I was aware that my general business knowledge was not at a high level, so I decided to invest in an MBA education. While searching for available options, I came across the COTRUGLI MBA program.
Today, I know it was the best decision I made for my career development. Entering the MBA opened my eyes to a completely different world – the world of business. The opportunity to learn from top lecturers and constantly be surrounded by highly qualified people from various fields, who encourage me to be better and achieve more, was the perfect start to a new chapter.
The networking advantage I gained through the COTRUGLI MBA is truly incomparable. Being part of a team and staying connected with these great people who are spread across the region is truly a huge advantage. After completing the MBA, with work experience and acquired knowledge, my career developed extremely quickly: I moved from the laboratory to business development and eventually reached the position of director in just five years.
The program helped me discover new ideas, new areas, and new spheres of interest and provided me with a solid foundation for the position I hold today. It increased my confidence by raising my level of knowledge and self-awareness in a way I couldn’t imagine before. What I learned at COTRUGLI Business School is that if you manage to unleash your passion and develop an entrepreneurial spirit, everything you want in your career can become a reality.”
