Metropolitan Executive MBA Class of 2021
Why did you choose the Metropolitan EMBA?
I’ve been in the same industry for 16 years. I have the seniority and the
international experience but I’d reached a plateau. I realized that the broad
experience of the EMBA is what will open the door to a global, more
commercial position.
How would you describe your classmates?
Driven—not afraid of failing or putting themselves on the line. It’s been
really interesting and inspiring to see the challenges that they’ve managed
to overcome.
Any surprises so far?
I’ve already seen so much practical opportunity and the chance to
implement learnings from the classroom straight into my company.
“The professors, the material, and
the classes have all really impressed
me and are very much grounded
in reality, so it’s very easy to relate
to and find some commonality
between what you learn and how
you can implement that at work.”
