“Being an International Dean of a Top 50 EMBA program worldwide, ranked by the Financial Times, was far from my imagination a few years ago. Life as an independent consultant was sufficiently fulfilling then, but the ISM PhD program opened up a new dimension and possibility to my career. During my three years with ISM as a PhD candidate, not only did I acquire updated knowledge in business fields outside of my professional realm, I had the opportunity to acquaint with a vast network of like-minded colleagues. This network has brought me endless opportunities in my personal and professional lives.
It is up to you to make the best of the program. A PhD program is not for the faint-hearted as it is short for “Perseverance, Hard-work and Discipline.” However if you ever have any doubt about yourself, remember my motto - Dream, Believe, Achieve - “Dare to Dream, Believe in Yourself and Achieve the Impossible.” If I can do it, so can you!”
