Randy Heiserman: Why Living and Studying in Europe Set Me Apart from Other Applicants

Randy Heiserman’s journey is a testament to the transformative power of global education. A proud Schiller International University alumnus, Randy earned both his BA in International Relations & Diplomacy and MBA in International Business in 2010. His academic path, rooted in Schiller’s multicultural campuses across Europe, laid the foundation for a career defined by adaptability, cross-cultural fluency, and strategic insight.

Reflecting on his time at Schiller, Randy emphasizes how studying in Europe gave him a distinct edge in the international job market. “It wasn’t just about the coursework,” he shares. “It was about learning to navigate different cultures, languages, and perspectives — skills that are invaluable in today’s globalized economy.”

Today, Randy resides in Heidelberg, Germany, where he serves as a Senior Account Executive at EMEA. His international experience has been instrumental in helping a U.S.-based company successfully expand into the German market — a challenge that required not only business acumen but a deep understanding of local dynamics and customer expectations.

Randy’s story is a powerful example of how Schiller’s global approach to education equips graduates to lead with purpose and impact — wherever their careers take them. We’re proud to celebrate his achievements and the role Schiller played in shaping his professional journey.
