I believe the DeGroote MBA helped me to assimilate bits and pieces of knowledge that I had gathered over my career, tie it all together to make sense from a business perspective, and add value by introducing concepts and themes I was unaware of, and finally, elevate my knowledge and skills as a business leader in the making.

Why DeGroote?
Purpose has been a key theme guiding me in my professional and career journey so far. DeGroote’s Education with Purpose goes well beyond academics, helping carve a leader who thinks about people, communities, and the impact they have beyond their organization. The sense of community is great at DeGroote – you have friends, peers, professors, and professionals to support you in your academic and career journey. All you need to do is ask! In addition, the school provides you with all the resources to set you up for success in your individual MBA journey and even after.
What piece of advice would you give to anyone considering doing their MBA at DeGroote?
Be a sponge, ask questions (without feeling embarrassed), and lean-in for support from friends, peers, and the DeGroote community.
