Dr. Sebastian Vieregg (30), graduate of the 2005 full-time MBA program at the GISMA Business School, was recently chosen by the business magazine Karriere, with 24 other young managers, as Karriere's top 25 high-fliers for the year 2009. The distinction is considered the most important prize for outstanding young managers of the German economy.
Vieregg is already the second GISMA alumnus to receive this coveted distinction. In 2006 Dr. Stefan Träger (EMBA 2003) was among the top 25.
The business magazine Karriere has been issuing competition invitations for "Career of the Year" for the last seven years. The jury, consisting of Karriere's editorial board and the board of the Deutschen Gesellschaft für Karriereberatung e. V. (German Association for Career Advice), made the choice in its final selection from about 140 candidates put forward.
Those sought were under 40 years of age and, as managers, are rapid, international, entrepreneurial in their thinking, taking a view beyond their immediate field. Unlike rankings, where the distinctions are listed from place 1 to 25, all 25 managers here belong equally to the category of the 25 outstanding high flier managers of Germany.
It was not possible for the young managers to apply for the honor themselves; they had to be put forward by others. In the case of Dr. Vieregg the proposal came directly from GISMA Business School. "Dr. Vieregg is an outstanding example of an extraordinary professional development", according to Dr. Annegret Zurawski, Academic Director of GISMA. "And we are very proud of the fact that two graduates of GISMA have already received this special award."
