About

Essentially, I woke up one morning and realised I didn’t want to do what I had been doing for the past ten years, for the next ten years.  So my bright idea is to do an MBA to enable me to open new doors.  All relatively simple, apart from issues like, having to sit an exam, research  and identify suitable courses, and figure out how to fund it.

After being rejected from Duke, I’ve reassessed and going to focus on Part-time MBA option located in and around London.

though after an interesting 2014 summer I’m now applying for full time MBAs in Europe.

 

Here’s the key posts from my past year:
