GRADUATING CLASS OF 2019
Introduction The figures Career Centre LBS programme portfolio
“In the short time since I graduated from London Business School in
summer 2019, I’ve joined a global leadership development programme at the
insurance company MetLife. The programme has three rotations, giving me
the opportunity to work across different markets around the world. Right
now, I’m in my first rotation, based in Dubai as Director of EMEA Strategy –
a role I believe I wouldn’t be in if it weren’t for LBS.”
Grace Ortelere, MBA2019, Director - EMEA Strategy, MetLife
The employment rate is calculated in compliance with MBA Career Services and Employer Alliance (MBA CSEA) reporting standards. Students returning to their
sponsoring employers are not included in the rate.
