Meet Tiffany

Senior Global Operations Specialist, adidas

Tiffany graduated from Hult in September 2021, and within two years, she'd completely reinvented her career path—leaving finance behind for the sports industry. Today, she's a Senior Specialist in Supply Chain Management at adidas Portugal.

Switching gears from asset management to adidas was a huge career pivot, but Tiffany credits Hult for equipping her with the skills she needed to make the change.

“Hult didn’t just support my career change, it became the foundation for my growth and achievement.”
