Track: Global Immersion

Company: Beretta USA

Title: Team Lead, Long Guns
Andrea Gomirato needed no introduction to international business assignments. In 2011, he transferred from Beretta in his native Italy to the company’s US division, where he now is responsible for all phases of product development for Berretta rifles and shotguns.
“The work is very stimulating, and it challenges me every day,” says Andrea. “Last year, I had the chance to patent two of my inventions.”Though he spoke Italian and English, Andrea, an engineer by training, recognized he was not fluent in the language of business — and that he needed strong managerial knowledge in order to reach his goal of becoming an executive with a multinational company.For him, Vanderbilt seemed a natural choice, and not just because of its close proximity to his workplace. “I didn’t want to pursue just any MBA,” Andrea says. “I wanted to attend Owen because I believe it can change and improve my future.

“When I first moved to the US, I realized how everything is so different here. Once I settled in, I obtained a great return in terms of experience. Through the Americas MBA program I have the chance to interact with students from completely different nations. It was an opportunity I didn’t want to miss. Since we are part of a global economy, learning from a cross-cultural environment is the best way to shape a person who can behave responsibly in today’s world.”
