Why did you decide to pursue an executive MBA at the MaastrichtMBA?

I had the choice between Belgium MBAs and Maastricht, but I found the MaastrichtMBA more structured in terms of planning. The cultural diversity and the mix of nationalities were very interesting to me and I was convinced with the intensive use of English.

How have you benefitted from your MBA degree?

A lot of personal development amongst the module even if this was not the topic. You learn about yourself at every stage of the MBA as a lot of interaction is required before and after the modules as well. The internaltional week in South Africa also gave me the opportunity to bring competences to other type of organizations where the resources are scarce. You learn humility at the same time. Every experience counts.
