STUDENT STORY
Right time,
right place

Madiha Ahmad
Indian
Consultant,
KPMG
Masters in
International Business
Class of 2017
What were your aims in doing a masters?
Getting exposure to a professional international
environment. Hult—with its mix of nationalities
and top faculty—was the best place to help me
achieve my aims.
How did you connect with KPMG?
Two months into the program, Hult provided us
with an opportunity to participate in a case study
competition organized by KPMG. For me, that
turned out to be the key to my future. Since
graduation, I’ve been working with KPMG
as a consultant. In my case, Hult has been as
important as Google Maps in getting me to
my destination.
