“I had come to a crossroads in my career. I needed to look forward to the next 20 years.

“I carefully considered how I was going to navigate a rapidly changing world before I made the next transition in my professional life."

“The Sloan programme at London Business School (LBS) fitted the bill in every way. From the seniority and diversity of the participants, the scope of the curriculum, the calibre of guest speakers and expert faculty, right through to the School’s reputation for excellence in strategy, I knew this was the programme I needed to help me prepare for new responsibilities in my career."

“For me, a very memorable part of the programme was looking at the dynamics of transfer pricing across different countries – how the perspectives of my counterpart from Singapore weren’t the same as those of another colleague from Brazil."

“Then there were layers of interesting insights from classmates who’d come from private equity backgrounds. The sheer diversity of the group meant that the learning experience went way beyond the book. The input from different classmates was hugely enriching.”

Accessing China

“I helped organise a trip to China where we took an inside look at major Chinese multinationals such as JD.com, Tencent, Huawei and Ali Baba. It was great to be able to have this kind of input into my fellow students’ learning experience. Our group leveraged ties to organise meetings with Chinese business leaders and part of that meant gaining privileged insight into the artificial intelligence journey that Ali Baba is currently going through.”

Embrace change

“As we get older I think we have a tendency to resist change, but we shouldn’t. The Sloan programme is an enabler of personal and professional change that rejuvenates your thinking and sets you up to continue to compete in our changing world.”
