I want a career in general management. The CEO* Program set me on the path to achieving that.Busola, Head of Long-Term Service Agreements Implementation for Asia-Pacific and China

Three assignments lie ahead, each eight months long. They will be challenging and personally tailored to your needs. Excited by the prospect? We are, too – every time.
You’ll get to know Siemens inside out. Three challenging assignments await. Looking for ways to achieve resource-friendly growth, for example, or helping to drive the industry’s transition to the digital age.
What might your assignments look like? Here is one example:
Where I come from:
I was born in Singapore, raised in Melbourne, Australia, and pursued an MBA at INSEAD. The CEO* Program stood out among others with its individually crafted journeys, strong mentorship, and leadership training opportunities. I was delighted to continue my learning journey after the MBA with such an excellent program!
How the CEO* Program supports me on this path:
On one of my assignments, I led a team to create and set up a new business portfolio line. My task: to increase Siemens’ revenue and market share through strategic retrofitting of competitor installations. This project required strategic drive and execution as well as strong collaboration with internal and external stakeholders. The most exciting experience was to present this on stage at a Business Unit Management Conference alongside the CEO.
