- Tell us about what you're doing now.
- What brought you to DBS?
DBS was an obvious choice for me as it comprised all what I was looking for in an MBA program. The diversity of both students and faculty, the richness of courses centered around sustainability and creativity, the openness to a worldwide view of business and the economy were all reasons that I chose DBS.
- How did your experience at DBS shape or prepare you for your career path?
My research subject was definitely a strong starting point for my current career. I studied the factors behind strategy-implementation gaps in the context of Morocco. This helped me better understand the internal mechanisms of working teams. I am now in charge of projects aiming to improve the well-being and efficiency of teams and I can confidently say that my thesis journey is helping me in more ways that I’ve thought it would.

Adding to that, the way the school’s building is structured provides perfect atmosphere to study, but also great areas to rest and gather with classmates. Most of my best memories were created during gatherings for events, birthdays or for no special occasion.
- What advice do you have for current or prospective Global MBA students?
When things seem blurred and incomprehensible at the beginning, the idea of « just getting it started » added with a pinch of patience were key.

- How did your experience at DBS shape or prepare you for your career path?
Apart from this, I was able to solidify my skills with regards to lean management and workflow efficiency improvement thanks to the "Operations Management" course. This, coupled with the environment where I could interact with students from diverse backgrounds, helped me to get a job at one of the leading LCCs in Japan.
At that company, I was able to leverage all the knowledge I had gained at DBS to design and develop a recruiting system for improving efficiency and managing the entire recruiting process for expat pilots. This experience helped me land my current job where I am part of a team of engineers working on the next generation of IoT solutions.
