At Rome Business School, we take pride in seeing our students achieve their goals and thrive in their professional journeys. One such inspiring story is that of Niko Fanunza, a professional with several years of experience who chose to elevate his career by enrolling in the Master in Digital Marketing and Business Transformation.
Today, Niko is excelling as a Senior Sales Analyst at Accenture, showcasing how the RBS experience can transform careers.
Niko’s journey is a testament to the value of practical education, determination, and embracing opportunities for growth.
Already an established professional, Niko sought a master’s program that could complement his expertise with practical, hands-on skills. Traditional academic programs felt too theoretical, and he was looking for a school that could provide more real-world applicability.
When I interviewed with Valerio—whom I sincerely thank for the opportunity—I quickly realized that RBS was different.
Niko shared. What truly set the school apart for him was its focus on practical labs and experiential learning, which he felt were exactly what he needed to elevate his career.
One of the defining moments of Niko’s RBS experience was the bootcamp in Silicon Valley, a week-long immersion in the heart of innovation that focused on digital transformation and disruption.
Reflecting on the experience, Niko said:
The bootcamp taught me how to future-proof businesses, embrace change with confidence, and approach challenges with enthusiasm rather than fear. It was a game-changing experience that gave me the tools and mindset to thrive in a constantly evolving digital world.
This transformative opportunity didn’t just broaden Niko’s perspective—it shaped his professional philosophy and continues to influence his approach to work today.
For those considering Rome Business School, Niko offers valuable advice: make the most of the people you meet during your time at RBS. While the courses are exceptional, it’s the relationships you build—with classmates, professors, and industry professionals—that truly define the RBS experience.
Step out of your comfort zone, interact with as many people as possible. The connections you make will inspire you and open doors you never imagined.
Rome Business School was more than just an academic program for Niko; it was a launchpad for his professional growth. The practical knowledge, global experiences, and strong network he gained helped him transition seamlessly into his current role at Accenture.
Today, Niko’s success story stands as an inspiration to all RBS students and alumni, proving that with the right mindset and opportunities, extraordinary growth is within reach.
