Could you share a little why you decided to pursue the MBA, and in particular, the INSEAD MBA?

I wanted to explore more opportunities outside the usual regime and take things out of my comfort zone.

Can you share your thoughts about the class experience, professors, the curriculum so far?

The interaction within the class among classmates is my favourite part.

The diversity of the cohort ensures a variety of opinions.

Most professors provide real-life implications on the key concepts taught. So it is not just about knowledge, but more about application and personal reflections.

Where are you located and what are you most looking forward to during your time on the programme?

I'm located on the Singapore campus, and I'm looking forward to meeting lots of interesting people and making life-long friends.

Have you learned any important lessons so far from MBA experience that have been especially useful?

The INSEAD MBA feels like an experiment.

It is a riskless environment for me to explore different styles of leadership and interaction with people.

Any tips for those who are considering an INSEAD MBA?

Be brave, try new things, and set priorites.
