I Think pursuing the International MBA was crucial for my international professional career.
Firstly, it gave me the opportunity to study with a group of professional from different parts of the world, helping me to recognize the importance of supporting diversity as an important fact for my future business within this globalized world. Secondly, it also opens me the door to continue my international career in Paris as a Business intelligence analyst for an American company called Merck.
