Posted: 18:09 GMT
Mr. Kurt Rosen gave a very interesting talk to Commerce students with German in The Hardiman Building today. This event was organized and facilitated by Dr. Thomas Wilks, Course Coordinator for Commerce with German. Mr Rosen integrated an international exchange year into his studies before this practice became widespread in Europe, before developing his career during six years with the Lidl Group in Germany, the UK, Austria and Switzerland. Students got to learn how he became involved in establishing Lidl in Ireland, serving as Chief Administration Officer and Board Executive Director from 1999 to 2019. More recently, he has been the Chief Financial Officer and Executive Vice President of Save-A-Lot, USA; and Chief Financial Officer and Executive Board Director of Takko Fashion, Germany.
