DeGroote’s Co-op MBA program brings focus on laying a strong foundation in business fundamentals together with exposure to real business challenges.
What is your biggest takeaway from the MBA program?
My MBA and Co-op internships prepared me to be effective in managing business risks. My specialization in Strategic Business Valuation will bring value to my organization by ensuring that projects and initiatives are appropriately risk-mitigated.
How did your experience at DeGroote prepare you for your current career?
My exposure to various critical business aspects such as finance, marketing, strategy, and management in classroom and coop internships, added significantly to my prior abilities. My motivation to pursue an MBA back then was the vision to lead a company that provides sustainable and environment-friendly energy amid technological change and a global redistribution of economic activities. I am now back in the energy sector and starting to work towards achieving that vision.
