I was astounded by the level of interest shown when I applied for my internships and the variety of the options available to me.

Business Is My Legacy

Hailing from a family of business people, I witnessed the up-scaling of the trade’s work and internationalization. Fascinated with the automation within my father’s office, I also dabbled with the computers, first playing games as a child and then trying my hand at simple functionalities. Slowly I grasped the importance of both the need for computer-enabled processes and an astute understanding of global perspectives and paradigm shifts in how cross-border businesses are conducted, sustained, and grown.

The classes’ wonderful diversity creates the energy and creativity to build a true, strong, and wonderful community of leaders and learners worldwide.
