“It gave me the confidence to reinvent my career internationally and embrace opportunities I had never planned.” 

After more than ten years working in the luxury industry in Hong Kong for brands such as LVMH, L’Oréal and Estée Lauder, I decided it was time to take a major step in my career.

Choosing to pursue an Executive MBA in France was both a professional and personal decision. France is at the heart of the global luxury industry, and I believed that studying there would open new perspectives. It also meant leaving my hometown, investing my savings and moving to a new country where I did not even speak the language.

Looking back, it was one of the best decisions I have made.

The Global Executive MBA gave me much more than academic knowledge. It exposed me to professionals from very different cultures and industries, which was incredibly enriching. Learning how to collaborate with people from diverse backgrounds is one of the most valuable skills I gained.

Interestingly, the program did not lead me exactly where I initially expected. Instead of returning to the same type of role, it opened new paths. After a period working in international marketing in Paris, I moved into consulting for luxury brands and eventually relocated to Denmark for a new opportunity that I truly enjoy.

The alumni network is another major strength of the program. From the beginning, I was connected with alumni who shared their experiences and advice. The cohort system also allows strong connections across promotions, creating a community that remains active long after graduation.

For me, the GEMBA was not just a degree. It was a transformative journey that broadened my perspective and opened doors I had never imagined.
