Alumni
The alumni of the Chair of Marketing and Commerce –
Making an impact!
As a doctoral student at the chair of Professor Fassnacht, I had the opportunity to work on a practice-oriented topic related to price management. I still benefit from this - as well as from the unique professional and private networks I was able to build up during my time at WHU.
Dr. Jochen Mahadevan, Director of Appliance Sales at Miele USA
The dissertation at the chair of Professor Fassnacht enabled me to study strategic questions related to commerce from a scientific perspective. Due to the high practical orientation of the chair, I can apply the acquired knowledge to many areas of my daily work at Bain & Company.
Dr. Christina Ellringmann, Partner at Bain & Company Germany
The environment at the chair of Professor Fassnacht is highly dynamic, intellectually stimulating and exceptionally professional. The people you are working with help you to grow and unlock your full potential.
