Why did you decide to do an MBA?

Pre-MBA, I had started taking up leadership roles that required significant general management knowledge and I felt getting an MBA was an excellent way to learn the business fundamentals I needed to thrive in these roles. I also saw the MBA as a way to expand my professional network given that I was moving to a new country.

What is the most significant thing you've learned at Ivey?

The major learning for me has been from Ivey's case learning method and how it has honed my ability to draw key insights from business cases and provide actionable recommendations.

What's been the most surprising aspect of the Ivey MBA journey to date?

While I knew about the strength of the Ivey network before starting my MBA, it is still surprising that a school's network can be so robust. Personally, the responsiveness of the alums I have interacted with so far has been very impressive.
