At GLOBIS you study many cases and situations so that later you will have those experiences to draw on as your knowledge when you are tackling new situations. Likewise, in my classes I hope that you have the opportunity to learn from the stories and experiences discussed so that you can draw on that foundation when you are ready to go out and tackle new opportunities to blaze your own trail.

Being a graduate of GLOBIS, I understand how difficult it is to juggle work, family, friends and study. But I also know how rewarding it is to learn new things and to be able to try them in the real world of business. I can truly attest to the value of the learning, the networks and the personal mission that students hone during their time here at the school. We all have a lot to learn from each other.
