Graduate to General Manager: 10-Year Path at European Firms in the US

Land Your First Job at a Foreign Company
2 views

Discover the hidden career accelerator that most US graduates never consider: European multinationals operating in America. The UK, Germany, and France alone - the top three countries for foreign investment in the US - operate 20,000 subsidiaries employing 3 million Americans, with foreign investment having doubled over the past decade. These companies offer a strategic path to senior leadership that bypasses the overcrowded competition at traditional US corporations. Learn from someone who lived this journey - going from engineering graduate to CEO of a French subsidiary in 14 years - and discover how proper planning and coaching can compress this timeline to just 10 years. Learning Objectives: You'll walk away with a clear understanding of why European companies prioritize developing American talent for leadership roles, the four critical success factors that distinguish high achievers, and the strategic importance of headquarters assignments in career acceleration. Whether you're a recent graduate or early-career professional, you'll leave with a concrete 10-year roadmap and the strategic framework to immediately begin positioning yourself for this accelerated leadership track.
