In the program, I’m learning

from people in different business in Asia and the local mentality - and of course the school has a perfect reputation around that already - so that could help me develop new patterns of thinking and new ideas to drive me forward. I think it’s amazing that 28 per cent of my cohort (KH18) are female. It’s really important because it changes the feeling in the class. I think the Executive MBA program is a beautiful way to communicate that women have their own capabilities and talents.

Having worked for the last decade or more in a new but steadily growing market, the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program has been perfect in providing me with the skills to tackle current and future challenges both in my industry and its broader interaction with mainstream markets and ﬁnance, as well as enhancing this learning through a high calibre, very experienced, and culturally diverse peer group and network of executives in Asia and beyond.
The way we’ve become so close in a relative short length of time is a credit to the course in the way the classes, assignments and activities are structured. They are extremely interactive, and you do have to collaborate and work as a team. I’ve learned how to leverage a network to get a better result. It offered the most experience in terms of an introduction to China and there was also the USA exposure. The fact that it was the top ranked course was the icing on the cake.
The innovative and practical approach of the course designs of the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program encouraged me even at my very advanced age to challenge preconceptions and test new ideas. The program gave such invaluable perspectives, allowing me to look afresh at issues and identify solutions even more effectively.
I wanted to be stimulated;

I

wanted to broaden my

horizon. I was practicing as a transaction lawyer for about eleven years by the time I sent in my application and everything was good and was going well. I wanted to know more; I wanted to know more outside of my own expertise. Joining the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA program, I immediately was connected to 50 different experts from different walks of life. Everyone is quality. You get to learn from every single one of them. I think all those further prepared me for what I have to do today and what I will need to do in the future.
