- Why did you decide to move to Hong Kong to study your MBA?
I have worked and lived in EMEA and the US. Thus, I really wanted to learn more about doing business in APAC. Asia and especially Greater China play a central role in the global technology and commodity market, making it absolutely central for me to know and understand said marketplace. Hong Kong is a great entry point. - Did the ongoing uncertainty such as geopolitical factors and pandemic impact your decision in pursuing your MBA in Hong Kong? Honestly, it did not. However, it got me quite a few concerned comments from friends, family and colleagues. Especially when I threw in that I’m joining the CBS track and will go to NYC for a few months, which was heavily on the news due to its high number of COVID cases. Now that I am here, a lot of the comments have shifted. As the COVID situation has worsened across Europe, HK has done a great job in keeping case numbers down.
- How are you enjoying the programme so far? Any specific courses you would like to highlight on?Classes like China Marketing and Big Data User Analytics are both classes that I know will extend my toolset to lead new innovative marketing tech techniques and cutting-edge initiatives across Geos’.
