After working for 13 years in Market Research, having different roles in diverse companies and working with multiple cultures and in several countries, I felt the need of having more in terms of experience, learning, reflection and personal growth and I realised that changing the working sector would bring me a new perspective on all these wishes I had, but that experience would become questionable again in a decade or sooner as it will be specific to a certain sector again. I did the change of the working sector almost 3 years ago and the learning curve went up, but I was yearning for more again. Looking back to my educational and professional background, I realised that the moments in life when I learned the most were when I was surrounded by people who are totally different from me in terms of education, working experience, culture, background; but somehow among all these contrasts, we were sharing similar values and the same hunger for becoming better versions of ourselves, for learning and progressing and challenging ourselves.

Where could I find that context and those people? The answer was definitely an MBA as this is the place where I could be part of a group of people who are looking for the same context and are willing to learn and share, to challenge and be challenged, to question and to tell stories, to generate ideas and give perspective; where culture and background diversity are gathered together to form a group of people who are in the same time so different and so alike in their journey. The MBA was for me the journey I needed to take and with every new step I take, I am more convinced the decision was correct.
