Dhruv Jain
After completing his WMG programme, Dhruv Jain returned to New Delhi and launched PrintOctopus, an e-commerce platform enabling artists to showcase and monetise their work through on-demand printed merchandise like t-shirts, phone covers, and canvases.
None of it would have been possible without the skills and knowledge he developed as an Innovation and Entrepreneurship student. “It turned out to be the best decision of my life,” he says. “There was just so much I didn’t know. Things like cash flow management, financial modelling, e-commerce processes, transaction management and site optimisation, for example, as well as leadership.”
His dissertation focused on market research, helping him refine his product range and prepare the PrintOctopus website for launch. Since its inception, it has showcased 17,000 designs, two million products, and over 400 active artists. It also experiences 40% growth month-on-month.
Keva Doyle
As a public management analyst at Trinidad and Tobago’s Ministry of Public Administration and Digital Transformation, Keva Doyle is dedicated to enhancing the quality of public services through innovative national information and communication technologies. After graduating from WMG with a degree in Service Management and Design, she has become a customer experience champion, striving to understand and meet the needs of citizens.
The skills she gained at WMG, such as report writing and investigating the effective use of technology, have been invaluable in her job. “It allowed for flexibility and breadth of understanding,” she says. “I chose an elective module in engineering, which gave me insights into processes and eliminating waste. I’ve used these principles to work in a much smarter way. That’s what I now bring to my job, thanks to all that I learned at WMG.”
Sofia Duarte
Sofia Duarte’s current role revolves around ensuring deliveries reach online customers on time, even amidst the unpredictability of global crises. The pandemic’s toilet roll shortages highlighted the challenges supply chain managers face. Still, Duarte, a Chevening Scholar and MSc in Supply Chain and Logistics Management graduate, thrives in organising resources efficiently to handle such uncertainties.
She credits her capabilities to WMG’s rigorous and practical training, which paved the way for her management role at one of Amazon’s largest warehouses in Europe. It involved real-world simulations that prepared her for the dynamic nature of supply chain management, where quick thinking and adaptability are crucial. “Machines do away with monotonous steps,” says Duarte, who manages a team of 100 employees. “Things don’t usually go to plan.”
Luis Martinez Morales
Luis Martinez Morales’s journey from a passionate car enthusiast to a key player in EV development is a result of WMG’s cutting-edge curriculum. He secured his role at Jaguar Land Rover after graduating in 2021 and impressing decision-makers with an interview presentation on system product development — which was inspired by a WMG course module.
As a full-time employee, his daily tasks include working with the efficiency team to enhance driving range and performance, analysing data to meet regulatory standards, and ensuring the vehicles delivered are top-notch. His MSc in Sustainable Automotive Electrification provided him with a dual perspective: a solid grasp of technical aspects like thermodynamics and a strategic understanding of the automotive business.
“Our lecturers were people from industry, such as companies that make car power inverters,” he says. “It showed me the realities of the market and that you have to convince the public that your cars are what they’re looking for.”
Manuela Rodriguez Melgar
Studying at WMG on a Chevening Scholarship, Manuela Rodriguez Melgar gained skills essential to her role in promoting international trade partnerships for Guatemala and reshaping the country’s image. “The real Guatemala is a good place to do business – it’s not unsafe, the people are kind, and we have one of the most neutral English accents,” says the MSc International Trade, Strategy and Operations graduate.
Working for the Ministry of Economy, her WMG training in reputation management has proven useful. Here, her strategy involves creating a comprehensive map of stakeholders to build strong, lasting relationships. Her proactive approach helped Guatemala City achieve a top ranking for cost-effectiveness in the Americas.
“If it weren’t for my UK experience at WMG, I wouldn’t have known how to build a strong and long-lasting relationship with strategic partners,” says Melgar, who was promoted to Deputy Head of Mission for the Guatemalan Embassy in El Salvador.
