Hi Guys!
Welcome to my MBA blog. I am writing this blog to help MBA outsiders get a better idea of what exactly goes on in a (top-ranked) MBA school. What are we learning about? How do we get better prepared for the exciting world of senior management positions? And for Rotman in particular, what exactly is “Integrative Thinking”? (Integrative Thinking being the core component of the Rotman MBA program)
I am thinking I will try to update this blog once a week with some of the cool and exciting things going on in MBA land.
A little bit about me: I was born in Ottawa (Canada) and did my undergrad at the University of Ottawa, majoring in marketing. I also got a chance to do a semester abroad, on exchange at the Hogeschool van Amsterdam. From my time abroad I became a HUGE fan of international business and travel. Since my exchange semester, I’ve been all over Europe, the US, Central America and the Caribbean (and will hopefully add to that soon…).
All of my work thus far has been focused on marketing, which is what I hope to continue doing. Once I graduated from my undergrad, I did an internship at RBC, then was at Dell for a few years and finally KPMG. All of my work though was very executional-based. I knew I wanted to continue in marketing, but marketing at a much higher level. i.e. I don’t want to be the guy making ads but rather the guy that decides if it is even worthwhile to do ads in the first place.
How to get such skills? Why, an MBA from one of the best MBA schools in the world, of course!!
So this gives you a bit of context about me, so you know where I am coming from as I write. Hope you enjoy!
