Can you tell us a fun fact about yourself?
I'm a soccer fan, I'm funny, I'm casual and hate suits and ties, will never try bunjee jumping ever again and Italian food is my favourite!
So, what made you decide to pursue an EMBA, and why did you choose INSEAD?
Throughout my career in various administrative positions, I realised the importance to fine-tune my experience with structured and scientific based concepts in administration and business.
It is the skill and knowledge that enables leaders to lead their organisations towards success with a rational and structured approach.
When it comes to business schools, INSEAD always stood out as the best school worldwide in this field, which made me eager to complete all requirements to be enrolled.
If you were to describe your experience in one sentence, what would it be?
I would say it is one of the most exciting experiences that I have ever encountered. It is enlightening, adventurous and mind-blowing.
Has the EMBA helped you in your career so far?
Definitely, I have already tried to implement many of the courses and frameworks we have learned in classes into our real practice with great rewarding results.
What are your thoughts about the multi-campus experience?
It is one of the niche values that makes INSEAD a different business school.
The multicultural experience provided by the three campuses and the ability to engage with wonderful people from all over the world makes a degree from INSEAD one of its kind.
Despite the abstract concepts learned, it has a significant impact at the personal individual level.
Could you tell us more about the Leadership Development Programme (LDP) experience?
Again, this course is one of INSEAD's competitive advantages that makes it unique compared to other business schools. The group discussions, feedback and self-reflection along with one-to-one coaching sessions create a rich environment to help you to become the best version of yourself.
What advice would you give to someone who might be interested in pursuing an INSEAD Masters programme?
Just go for it, your ROI will never go wrong.
