As our 10 Years of SUSTM & MISM stories continue, meet Michael Kerkhoff, whose ESCP network has stayed with him well beyond graduation.
A conversation with an ESCP alumnus at a career fair in Berlin turned into a lasting connection-and three and a half years later, that same alumnus hired Michael for the role he’s in today.
But some connections became even more personal: Michael met his now-wife in class at ESCP in 2017, and today they’re married with a little boy. 🫶🏼
His advice to current students? Embrace the moments that take you outside your comfort zone and invest in the people around you. Those connections might stay with you much longer than you expect.
Ten years on, Michael’s story is a reminder that sometimes the biggest impact comes from the people you meet along the way. ✨
