February Career Ambassadors Networking Sessions (Virtual/In person)
Career Ambassadors are IESE Alumni and representatives from Partner Companies who are eager to share insights about their companies, industries, or geographical markets, and provide guidance on navigating your career. We have organized several informal meetings with different Career Ambassadors to enhance your networking opportunities. Event Format: Each Career Ambassador will be available for a 45-minute networking session with up to 6 students. You can select the Career Ambassador you wish to speak with. Career Ambassadors based in Barcelona will join you on campus, while those outside Barcelona will participate online. Purpose: The goal of these sessions is to engage in informal conversations with IESE Career Ambassadors to learn from their professional experiences and receive guidance on your job search. These sessions are designed to be informal and insightful discussions, not opportunities to directly ask for jobs. Instructions: Please register for a slot with the Career Ambassador of your choice. To ensure a smooth and focused conversation, you may meet with only one Career Ambassador per session. Kindly avoid registering for sessions that run in parallel. Only sign up if you are certain you can attend, as each session is limited to 6 students. Be punctual and conduct prior research before attending the session. Engage interactively and include other participants in the discussion. For virtual sessions, use the hand raise feature and keep your camera on. Do not ask for jobs. Instead, consider discussing topics such as: Your experience at [COMPANY]. What led you to work there? What has kept you there over time? What is it like on the inside, specifically in your role? What are some of the most important tasks you handle in this role? What do you spend the most time on? What do you love about the role, and what challenges do you face? We look forward to your participation and hope you find these sessions valuable for your career development.

TWINCO CAPITAL Company Presentation
Traditional supply chain finance focuses on invoice discounting, a crowded $4B market, leaving suppliers struggling to fund the full production cycle—from purchase order to final payment. Twinco Capital is the category leader solving this gap, unlocking a 10x larger revenue potential, fixing a multi-trillion dollar funding gap banks cannot address alone, due to lack of global risk & capital models for SME’s. Twinco engages with corporates and offers funding to their suppliers worldwide, advancing up to 60% of the purchase order value upfront in 48 hours and paying the remainder upon delivery. It has built a highly recurrent business, as suppliers need funding for each production cycle ensuring continuous demand. In addition, it benefits from a strong network effect, as satisfied suppliers systematically introduce new buyers. With a high-margin, a validated risk framework, and scalable technology, Twinco has secured support from major banks like Santander and BBVA, that are able and willing to continue growing with the company. It delivered 150% annual growth since launch, funding over $1B in trade transactions—all with zero losses. Moreover, Twinco’s impact goes beyond finance—leveraging data and funding to drive inclusive economic growth and responsible production in global supply chains. It helps buyers implement targeted financial incentives linked to specific ESG goals.
