# 68 Dominik Kohut | M&A strategy manager

In this episode, we speak with Dominik Kohut about building a career that spans academia, data analytics, finance, and teaching.

From his studies at the Faculty of International Relations through to PhD-level academic work, Dominik shares how he developed skills across very different environments – and how those experiences now connect in his professional life.

We talk about working with complex data and how to turn numbers into insights that people can actually understand. The conversation also explores his experience moving between organizations, and how each environment shapes decision-making, responsibility, and impact.

Dominik also reflects on his time teaching International Economy and how working with students influences the way he approaches his own work. We also touch on what students often misjudge about the job market, and how different professional roles can build on each other over time.
