My First impressions of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School
The ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Alumni community is astonishing. The calibre of the people I met is incredibly with a lot of ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School alumni in senior positions across multiple companies. So far, my best ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ story was to meet with Nick Strange, an ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School alumnus based in Dubai working for Arthur D. Little. The level of support and mentorship I got surpassed my expectations. Based on my experience, I can say that all the alumni around the globe will always make the time to help no matter how busy or senior they are!
How did it feel when you found out you’d secured this scholarship?
I feel very grateful to have been awarded one of the ten Sainsbury Management Fellowship scholarships. This scholarship will greatly support me to attend a Full-Time MBA at a world class institution like ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School that may have not been possible without. The network of the SMF is something I aspire to leverage to help nurture my curiosity and development for years to come. The SMF alumni network spans across multiple industries and specialisms and having access to this breadth of knowledge and experiences will, overall, make me a more experienced professional and a more complete individual.

How did you go about finding financial support for your MBA?
I leveraged ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School’s website. A lot of information was present about all the different scholarships, including the Sainsbury Management Fellowship. Also, I decided to engage with ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Business School Alumni to gather insight about where to look for additional financial support to make sure I exhausted my options.
What do you hope to achieve through your MBA experience?
At this point in my MBA, my focus is to land a job in a boutique consultancy in London or as a strategy manager in a technology firm that I can help grow. However, I must say that it’s difficult to resist the temptation to explore all the different opportunities that are offered and I am quite sure my mind will change significantly in the few months as I explore more and more the curriculum offered by the program.
