Ron Rose, 28
BFA music industry ’15
Co- Owner & global managing director, Mountain Productions Inc. (Berlin and Dublin)
My Greatest Accomplishment: In 2016, I moved to Ireland to attain a master’s degree in International Management from Trinity College while simultaneously establishing trade abroad for our E-comm Brand, MTN SHOP, which sells safety and technical lifting products for the rope access, renewable energy, entertainment rigging and construction sectors. At the time, the company had no sales presence outside of North America. I worked to establish and cultivate a global distribution network, which now has sold products in 45 countries across four continents with offices in Dublin and Berlin, which I am based between. Managing a concept into a reality is one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences, and I thrive amidst this balance.
How Drexel Helped Me: There is no doubt in my mind that The Drexel Co-op program was a pivotal period in my professional development during my bachelor’s degree. I was able to utilize my learnings in real-world applications at Live Nation while experiencing the nuances of a fast-paced corporate environment at the highest level of my industry. The work I did during co-op allowed me to parlay my experiences into the next phases of my career.
What is Your Greatest Source of Motivation: The constant pursuit of progress.
Where I Hope to Be in Five Years: Over the next five years I wish to expand upon the growth I have seen abroad and establish more offices for regional-based sales support across EMEA and Asia.
