Choosing to pursue the IÉSEG IMBA is one of the best and smartest decisions I have ever made. As an American, I decided to further my education in Europe in order to gain a holistic perspective on business, as I would like to work in a global company after finishing my studies.I chose IÉSEG in particular for its prominent location, the positive reputation of its programs and its international focus. This program has given me the invaluable opportunity not only to work with, but learn from peers and professors from all over the world.

IÉSEG also has a strong career support program; part of which enables us to meet with top business executives. Thanks to that program, I was able to secure a post-coursework

internship here in Paris at a global, billion-dollar French company early on in the year.

I believe that the cultural experience combined with the educational program has already made it a life enhancing experience to study at IÉSEG. I have dreamt of earning an MBA degree ever since receiving my Bachelor’s Degree from the University of Florida in 2009. In the current competitive job market, I believe it is important to differentiate yourself, so having an MBA degree is a great way to attempt to do so. I decided to attend IÉSEG because of its EQUIS and AACSB accreditations, as well as the prime location of its campus in La Défense, Paris.

I have particularly enjoyed the international based courses because they have exposed me to knowledge about how businesses function & operate on a global scale. Furthermore, they have helped for me to become a more cultured professional, which is important because I would like to work in Europe upon completing my MBA program. Specifically, I intend to work in Luxury Marketing.

I am really enjoying the experience of living and studying in Paris, as well as being exposed to the Parisian culture and the French language. I believe that the cultural experience combined with the educational program has already made it a life enhancing experience to study at IÉSEG.

There is a moment in life when you know you have to get out of your comfort zone and make a big change. That moment for me came a year ago; I was longing for that big change and therefore I decided to study abroad and my chosen destination was Europe. It was hard at first to decide on the country and the school. I chose IÉSEG because I like the balance it has between theory and practice. The IMBA program allows me not only to have a broader view of a business, but also to specialize in a certain field. You can enhance your knowledge in your current field or decide to make a change, like me, and discover new opportunities. The international dimension of the alumni and the experienced faculty members is something you will notice at IÉSEG from day 1. Studying in Paris, one of the most important financial and cultural centres of the world, certainly makes your decision even easier.I believe this IMBA will give me the set of tools I need to become an outstanding manager. With the help of the IÉSEG Career Support services, I will be able to get a marketing position in a European Corporation to gain knowledge, more experience and a wider perspective to finally

start my own consulting business.
