Biography

"Through the focus on dealing with ambiguity, Goizueta has shown me a wide range of different approaches and new ways to think about the problems i deal with in my work as a consultant. This is particularly thanks to the encouragement in each of our classes to think about problems in new ways. The prime example is in the class "Appcology" where we truly learn about the forefront of technological development and future trends and are challenged to think in the same way and come up with our own ideas."

Concentration/Industry: Consulting/Strategy

Hometown: Frankfurt, Germany

Words of Wisdom: Take the time to consider what you want to get out of the MBA and make your decision (which school to go to) accordingly. An MBA at Emory is much more than the name of a good school and a 3-letter degree. But you have to know what it is that you want out of it.

Why I chose Goizueta: I chose Emory because a friend had told me about the great community and environment at GBS. On top, I was looking specifically at a 1-year program and the small size and collaborative approach of the program sold me.
