I chose the IE-MBA because while I have a strong foundation in Sales, I know I can improve my business acumen by adding marketing, finance, and Human Resources to the skills in my portfolio. The diversity of the students’ backgrounds adds so much richness to the program and will allow me to learn additional perspectives for prob-lem solving, both personally and professionally. As someone who has mainly worked in the United States, I am excited to learn how European business practices vary or may perhaps be similar. The flexibility of the IE-MBA program gives me the opportu-nity to work if I choose to and/or explore all that Lille and Europe have to o�er.
