MIB-2015 (CEMS)

Becoming a GSOM student has been one of the wisest decisions I have ever undertaken in my life. Definitely, the highest quality of education and top professors engaged in the study-process are main attributes of this business school. As to my personal experience, GSOM gave me life-long friendship with amazingly smart and kind people. Moreover, GSOM helped me to develop great skillset, that differentiates me every single day: sense of responsibility, ability to manage people, admiration to cultural diversity. With the help of CEMS programme I understood many important things. By accomplishing huge projects, such as CEMS White Nights, Student Board project, IBM business project, I learned how to start something from the scratch, how to lead a group of high-profiled people, how to face difficulties, how to multi-task. This led me to a crucial conslusion: I am 100% entrepreneur. This conclusion became a cornerstone in choosing my career: now, working in an international start-up, which grows 300% each year, I am climbing through a steep learning curve. Soon I am planning to launch my own business, which I wish will bring great value to the society.
