"My IESE MBA experience was truly transformative. Collaborating with students from around the world gave me new perspectives and helped me grow both personally and professionally. The professors and career mentors provided invaluable guidance and support throughout my development and professional transition, helping me achieve my goals. The case method strengthened my ability to approach challenges from multiple angles and make confident decisions. Thanks to IESE, I now work in tech at Amazon's London offices."
