Year in Business student: Sprinklr internship and Walt Disney placement

Hippolyte Petit, Royal Holloway BSc Management with International Business (Year in Business) will be returning to college in late September to complete the final year of his degree. He has already completed his placement year at the Walt Disney Company and received very positive comments from his manager and has worked as a summer intern in New York at Sprinklr.

Celine Bannino , was Head of European Digital Marketing Experiences EMEA when she managed Hippolyte at the Walt Disney Company. She said : "we simply have never had an intern of this quality before... he is so curious and knowledge hungry that he has very quickly made himself indispensable for us".

Since leaving The Walt Disney Company Hipployte has secured himself a summer internship with Sprinklr in New York where he is currently working. No doubt his successful placement year at The Walt Disney Company helped him in securing this internship and he now continues to gain valuable work experience. Of this role Hippolyte wrote:

These first weeks in New York have been absolutely amazing. The team I have joined at Sprinklr is awesome and involves me in various projects - all is very exciting.

We are supporting big brands with the optimization of their social media activity through a powerful social media management platform: Sprinklr. I am developing great skills in data management and in data storytelling/ interpretation. I find it fascinating! I have had the chance to work on projects for clients such as Uber, Disney, CNN and Coca-Cola. I will be mainly assisting the Coca-Cola account manager here at Sprinklr which is absolutely great! 

The first feedback I have received is very encouraging. I will do my best to give a great impression. Sprinklr has offices all around the world and despite the amazing development which they've had since the creation of the company in 2009, they have sustained a very "startup culture" which I embrace completely. In a nutshell this internship in NYC has been even better than my expectation.
