Alumni profiles

Member, International Alumni Board
President, Gulf Region Alumni Club, London Business School
"As a global top-five institution, London Business School offers an incredibly rich development experience based on practical content and outstanding faculty. My experience is that of an incredible mix of geographies (Japan to Brazil), industries (sporting equipment to investment banking) and function (CEO to strategy consultant). The one commonality across all students is a unique story of achievement and potential.
Bringing London Business School to Dubai brings the best of all these things combined with the unique energy of one of the world's fastest growing cities. The Dubai-London Executive MBA programme will be an unbeatable combination!"
| Mohammed Chowdhury (Bahrain), EMBA2005 |
Executive Director, Financial Management Group, Arcapita Bank
Diversity and experience
"Like the other fellow accountants and finance people on the course, my main learning has been in enhancing the soft skills, especially by working in groups with people from such diverse backgrounds. In the normal course of business, it is extremely unlikely that I would have come across people such as our colleague who started life as choreographer in a Communist country and is now holding a senior international executive position at one of the world's largest conglomerates."
| David Bradford (UK), EMBA2001 |
Senior Advisor, BBC
"One of the best things about graduating from London Business School is becoming part of the dynamic alumni network, with its unrivalled access to 25,500 business leaders across all nationalities, functions and industries.
The collaborative and multicultural learning experience continues through the alumni network, regular invitations to distinguished speaker events and reunions, and facilities like the online discussion board, all of which allow for career advice, networking and creating professional alliances.
It is the perfect summation of the whole London Business School approach."
| Guillaume Perret (France), EMBA2004 |
Director, Perret Associates
"London Business School's Executive MBA gave me confidence that I can achieve my dreams. It gave me the tools and the global understanding to transform the sometimes nebulous business world into the large game that I am part of. Entrepreneurship electives such as 'New Venture Development' or 'Managing the Growing Business' have helped me tremendously to set up and grow my new ventures."
