LogisticsGroup, Toronto, Ontario After graduating with a university
degree in Political Science and Economics in 2007, Stefano Pascucci
didnt feel qualied to enter the eld of global commerce. George
Browns eight-month postgraduate program in International Business

to make sure shipments arrive on time and intact, which is a
complex daily challenge, and one that he enjoys. The program was
very practical. It taught me how to adapt to any situation on the
