“Pre-MBA, I presented good business cases, but at the end of the day it wasn’t my decision. After the MBA, people came to me to present cases, and afterwards it got quiet in the room. I realized I was the decision maker now.” – Anna Binder
“My MBA allows me to understand a client’s business and have credibility when counseling them about the challenges of climate change, waste management, and energy reduction.” – Emily Chan
