Interview

In 2014, after working for more than 5years in the EPC sector and being engaged in large-scale projects in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, it was the first time when I came to Japan on a project assignment. The journey continued for another three years and I completely fell in love with Japan, its natural beauty, resilience, convenience, and politeness around. Therefore, in 2018 when I decided to pursue an MBA to fulfill my ambition for continuous learning and skills enrichment, Japan was the top priority for me because of my familiarity with its work environment, business structure, and corporate culture here. I came across MBA (International Project Management) program at GSM – Kyoto University while looking for suitable programs among top-ranked universities. Because of my relevant background in project and engineering management, the program title immediately drew my attention before I further explored and came to know about its unique curriculum with a diverse range of courses in addition to the highly esteemed world-class faculty. After checking the GSM website for another 15minutes, I was enthusiastic to plan it as my next destination in life.

Before coming to GSM I had been working as a professional meeting planner for 15 years, and realized that the management of international meetings will be more complex and dynamic in future, therefore I decided to study again in business school. The main reason why I chose GSM-KU was the strong brand of Kyoto University, which offers affordable national university tuition rates.

The main reason why I chose GSM is that I can acquire knowledge and skills necessary to actualize smooth project management and also broaden my perspectives to the globe while staying in Japan. In addition, it is very attractive for me to nurture my mindset to management layer through business practice courses in GSM. Staying in Japan is very important for me because I am so certain that I would face with Japanese clients striving to expand their businesses internationally in my career as a consultant. Fulfilling my perspectives of both Japanese and international business environments would be the best way to add value to my future clients.
