Francesca's story: From MIC Graduate to a Senior Sustainability Product Manager

Francesca has worked as a communication advisor since graduating from the MIC in 2018. In 2022, she joined Booking.com in Amsterdam, where she now works as a Senior Product Manager focusing on sustainability. 

“The MIC has contributed to my career success in many ways”, she says. A course on future literacy at the MIC was a major turning point in starting her career. It led her to a 6-month graduation internship at UNESCO in Paris. She has been applying the knowledge, insights, and a future mindset to her work projects ever since.

The Master programme showed her how to develop branding content that clicks with people who care about sustainability, which is a big part of her job at Booking.com, fine-tuning travel services to what audiences appreciate. Ultimately, it is all about “adapting content to the audience's values is key to making a positive impact" she says.
