Xavier Betriu Palacio,

Spain

Xavier graduated in 2012 and is currently an exports director at Atrian Bakers S.L. after studying with LSBF gave him the tools to develop and push new ideas in his workplace. "My professional life before attending LSBF was just ok, with low expectations of improving responsibilities or duties, and with very little chance to get better professionally," he says. "I have an impressive future in my current job. The company I work for believes in my ideas and I have very interesting projects." LSBF was recommended to Xavier by a friend, and he has had an extremely positive experience. "One of the most interesting things of studying in LSBF was being able to get to know new people from other countries and nationalities. We created a nice group of people with different ways of thinking but with a common interest and objectives." The most rewarding aspect of his current role is that he is now given the freedom to develop his own ideas, and has the confidence to promote new strategies to improve results. Studying with LSBF in London completely changed Xavier's life. "I would recommend this to anybody," he says. "It makes you grow personally and professionally."
