People of CERGE-EI: Meet Our Alumni

28 August, 2023

In a new alumni interview on CERGE-EI Blog, Ondřej Schneider, our PhD in Economics alumnus, shares insights into his career path, motivations, and experiences that led to his current position as an economist at the International Finance Corporation (IFC) in Washington, DC, responsible for macroeconomic coverage of sub-Saharan Africa. 

"CERGE-EI has changed since I graduated a quarter century ago. But even in my time, CERGE-EI graduates prided themselves on strong quantitative skills and a thorough curriculum that allowed them to be flexible. We were told, and we saw it around ourselves, that we could get into the best schools and become successful even in a competitive international environment.," says Ondřej.
