I chose to join the HKUST MBA program as a complement to a new professional assignment in China due to its solid curriculum, superior faculty and strong focus on the region. It was only after the first class that a bigger picture was revealed to me: the power of diversity and the importance of other people in one’s transformational journey as an individual within a team of highly skilled leaders with a growth mindset. I'm happy to say that these are my classmates.
