Katey Neate, Graduated: Alliance MBS Global MBA, 2012.

Vice President in Risk Management
BNY Mellon, UK
I changed jobs (and cities!) twice after starting the Global Part-time MBA,
once halfway through the programme and again following graduation.
The core knowledge I gained about finance, macro-economics and
global trends gave me both the confidence and the know-how to apply
for different roles. The roles Ive moved into are very different than the one
I had when I started the programme, in terms of scope and exposure to
different parts of the organisation. The programmes flexible study format
definitely enabled me to make these moves and having the MBA on my CV
helped with the selection process.

Jiawei Sun, Graduated: Alliance MBS Global MBA, 2014.

Vice President & Marketing Director
Huawei Technologies, China
During my MBA I progressed from senior manager at a SME to vice-
president at a MNC. The programme opened my eyes to new ways of doing
business and I gained new insights into myself and the global business world.
I also built up systematic knowledge of business management and a wide
network. Studying the Global Part-time MBA at Alliance MBS is a really good
investment.

Angela Whiteside, Kelley School of Business MBA 2012

President and Founder
KickStage Consulting Inc.
I was excited to find a prominent MBA that fit my busy schedule. I
loved Kelleys interactive classes and team projects, the professors
responsiveness to emails and the bonds I developed with classmates
during the face-to-face elements of the programme. Originally an
engineer, during my time at Kelley I switched to a project management
role at Rolls Royce managing $10.5 million budgets. Following that, I
founded a contemporary technology consulting firm.
