Manon Wambre
Lille, France
SKEMA Business School
Manon Wambre is a French student in Project and Programme Management & Business Development at Skema Business School. After passing her high school diploma and continuing her studies through two years of preparatory classes, she spent her first year in Skema Lille discovering all the faces of management. Then, she began her work experience as a saleswoman, these three months taught her a lot about customer loyalty, merchandising and team work.
She chose to begin her first semester of Master degree studying in Oxford Brookes University. Her level of English is nearly fluent now and she mainly learned about marketing communication and business strategy. Next, with five months of a first experience in project management for a central purchasing in Brussels for the company “L’Agence pour le Non-Marchand”, she now has a global vision of project management: creating a project from scratch, defining a business model and strategies, planning, leading a team, estimating a budget, communicating. She was the coordinator of the project in a team of seven interns and developed her sense of responsibility. This internship confirmed her to choose project management as a specialty. That is why Manon is currently preparing her MSc thesis.
During this master degree, she plans to make a one year placement to develop her knowledge in project management and to apply the theory learned in AgilePM, Prince2 and Green Project Management. This year, she was highly involved as a project manager of a student event organized with PMI France Chapter. Within a team of five students and mentored by one teacher and one member of PMI, she had the opportunity to organize an afternoon seminar and she learned a lot about logistics and leadership.
Manon is particularly interested in the relationships between entrepreneurial skills and project management competencies. She is mainly attracted by innovative projects of small and medium firms. Manon can be contacted at manon.wambre@skema.edu
