FRANCOIS CORDEAU

'The MBA has changed my life.'

When I decided to join the Global MBA, somebody in the staff told me "whatever you do later on, the MBA will change your life. And it is true. After 15 years' experience, I learned more about business, leadership and mainly about myself. The time was very intense as I had to carry on in my job, my MBA, and spend time with my family. But every moment spent in the MBA was profitable and mind-opening. Professors, coaches and staff were always present to help me find the most adapted solution to manage the programme, my evolutive job and my life.
