The Double Degree program offered by Georgia Tech & Supelec has undoubtably been a key factor in my path.
For my graduation internship, I decided to do a 6-month internship as an analyst in marketing and technological strategy at FTNA (France Telecom North America) in New York.
FTNA is a part of the Orange - France Telecom Group and is specialized in both strategic market analysis of the U.S. market and business development, which consist in increasing the footprint of the group in the American market (especially in North America).
This internship was a perfect opportunity for me to use the knowledge and the skills I learnt during my training in both the Ecole des Mines de Nantes and Georgia Institute of Technology. This internship also enhanced the international side of my training and my professional profile.
During these 6 months, I worked most of the time with the wireless team. Knowing few things about the wireless market, with enthusiasm and with the help of my two supervisors, I managed to develop an expertise on the American wireless market.
My work at FTNA was divided in two tasks:
- Understanding and strategic analysis of the American wireless market.
- Developing the activities of the group in the U.S.: creation of a Showroom in the New York office and development of the New York Developer Centre for mobile application developers.
This internship was very enriching experience where I was not working for my superiors but with them, providing me with great responsibilities.
