James Whittaker, Australian
One-Year MBA, 2013, Boston
Pre Hult: Practice Development Manager, Whittaker Macnaught
(Financial Services)
The Hult MBA will enable me to access international markets
with greater ease.
I was most attracted by the fact that Hult appeared to be
very much an up-and-coming university and I have always been interested in
studying for an MBA in the U.S. Some of the other schools I considered did not
seem to embrace the shift toward technology, innovation, and an international
focus, but I could tell almost immediately that Hult
understood it perfectly. The diverse student body, international locations,
networking opportunities, and quality of the teaching faculty all added to the
appeal.
MY LIFE AT HULT
The Boston campus is an inspiring atmosphere of learning
where individuals and small groups meet up throughout the day and night to
discuss case studies and class-related assignments as well as their own
aspirations and ambitions for the future.
The Hult classroom, while challenging at times, finds people
from all over the world offering their perspectives and opinions on a myriad of
topics. There's also a strong emphasis on enthusiasm, humor, and having a good
time, which helps to revive everyone, especially during times of stress.
I am President of the 2013 Hult Entrepreneurship
& Innovation Club. Outside of Hult I have participated in numerous
networking events and information sessions throughout Boston, with a particular
focus on entrepreneurship and mobile app development. This has enabled me to
meet a lot of influential people in the community as well as the brains behind
some brilliant start-ups. As for Boston life more generally, I am a member of
Crossfit Boston, I've also seen the Red Sox twice and the Patriots once and
would highly recommend their games for a fun outing to absorb some of the local
culture.
I can't wait to get stuck into the yearly electives that I
will be able to take advantage of as a Hult alum.
A GLOBAL HULT EXPERIENCE
Hult's
Global Campus Rotation is a big appeal for me. I intend to rotate to Shanghai
before returning to Boston for the final module and graduation. With China's
growing influence, being able to spend two months in the country's business hub
is a tremendous opportunity that will provide me with a unique theoretical and
practical experience.
My plan is to start my own business as soon as possible. The
MBA has armed me with additional weapons to add to my entrepreneurial arsenal,
and I'm confident that my first leap as a business owner won't be a spectacular
failure. In fact, with the right planning, I'm confident of my success.
All the subjects so far have contributed to my knowledge of
the business world. The networking
Opportunities at Hult should not be understated: the dozens
of contacts I developed with people outside of Hult who have given me guidance
and insights which have constantly refined my business ideas. The Hult MBA will
enable me to access international markets with greater ease.
