Alexandre Lemille, Hult Executive MBA Class of 2011

Getting U.S. faculty on my doorstep was a real bonus. Unlike other B-Schools I looked at, Hult has campuses around the globe so I get the opportunity to study in key market economies while gaining my U.S. MBA. As an Executive MBA student, you have three lives that you learn to juggle and manage: your work life, your student life and your family life. Yet, one of the most challenging elements of the MBA program becomes apparent during group projects given the broad cultural diversity and different backgrounds of our classmates. We depend upon one another and therefore have to learn to understand each other to win as a team. Working in a multi-cultural environment is a must in todays business world and the Hult MBA helps you to reach that mindset at the most professional level. At the end of the curriculum you talk the same business language, and have a heightened awareness and understanding of your colleagues cultural values and views that you bring to your professional work environment. I am really looking forward to graduating this summer after an intense but incredible two years. My plan is to apply my skill and knowledge to helping communities in Africa develop their education, entrepreneurship, and health systems. I am fortunate to be in a position to implement these in my current role while advancing with my career with Cisco Systems as it is a company that shares my values in CSR and social innovation. Overall, choosing to take my MBA at Hult has been a rewarding decision and I would recommend it to any executives considering further education.
