“Several years have already passed since I left the school, and I can’t help but reflect on what I’ve achieved since then. I have set up my own advisory firm in Africa after having lived 22 years in Europe, a fact that I cannot believe!

INSEAD gave me a lot. It is true that I had to struggle between the workload during the week and my family during weekends (my kids were just five and three years old when I did my MBA), but I met incredible friends from all over the world and I learnt a lot from them and from the faculty. But I think that the most important thing that INSEAD gave me was the confidence necessary to launch a venture and to make drastic changes in my life in order to achieve my goals. I believe that is invaluable.

Looking back, I think that applying to INSEAD was one of the best decisions in my life, and I work hard today at convincing others of the benefits of the INSEAD experience. It is really worth it.”
