Hult Reviews - directly meet and converse with Hult Alumni

Alumni Perspective

(Financial Professional services)
My continual interaction with the Career Solutions team was extremely helpful to me.

WHY HULT

The primary attraction of Hult along with its MBA in my opinion was the intensive, 12-calendar month program and also the diversity in the school's college student body.

I had been first looking for the best international MBA program that would help me build new skills and deepen my knowledge of Financing in the least amount of time possible. Furthermore, the reality that I would be studying together with students from across entire world was invaluable for me. I used to be already operating in a very multicultural environment at Accenture, and might not envision being over a program that did not represent the way the world of business is right now! I also recognized that this kind of diversity would become useful in the future after i utilized my MBA alumni network.

Living AT HULT

The Boston campus was wide open and pleasant, and buzzing with power. Also, we, the Hult Student Association in Boston, organized drinks and pizza night time at Lingo before the conclusion of each element so that individuals could just enjoy and relax time with one other. The Hult classroom was extremely different with people with professional qualification as different as treatment and the armed forces. For this reason, most of our class discussions featured special perspectives on financial and business concerns. It was genuinely an enriching experience to witness swaps of sights with such a multicultural student body. I learned a lot from my fellow classmates on subject areas I had no prior familiarity with.

In terms of lessons, I enjoyed the Corporate Sociable Responsibility course. The topic was right on position with our daily business technique in going into "bottom part of the pyramid" marketplaces. The real situations we analyzed allowed for interesting school discussions and offered relevant conclusions and advices for our own future profession as administrators. The inspiring Professor of Global Tactical Valuation, Joel Litman also taught us that the same framework could be applied by people to produce wealth by them and for modern society. In order to achieve good results, I first needed to establish it explicitly and then be able to allocate assets to my goal through a prioritization of my effort and time, he made me recognize that. I am still using this pyramid framework defined in the reserve while planning the rest of my career.

Although at Hult, I was part of the Hult Pupil Association (HSA) where I represented the student body at meetings with all the faculty group. It was an appealing and demanding role, when I had to tackle my MBA class's issues while also getting the faculty's voice within the classroom. It had been also a wonderful way to utilize my management skills as HSA frequently organized situations for students, such as the graduation celebration and our yearbook.

Winning the Hult Global Situation Challenge (now Hult Prize) in the Boston Campus helps me in order to meet previous season MBA college students who started to be my coach during the competition and supplied great assistance with job skills and check to develop for your actual company market. Realizing these few students, who had attained major fulfillment past their MBA, provided me with confidence that I was in the right place.

A GLOBAL HULT EXPERIENCE

The Worldwide Campus Rotation program was really a real bonus of Hult's MBA software. Turning to Shanghai made ideal sense, when i was enthusiastic about the development of the BRIC countries. I could connect with Chinese organizations or multinationals established in Shanghai-the first step in the direction of achieving my future goal of working to promote southern-to the south investments.

During my time at Hult Shanghai I found myself fortunate enough to be tasked with choosing a solution to get a Korean company looking to go into the Chinese market for my Measures Project. Acting as a consultant was a new experience for me: I got to get into practice the course content explained in previous modules and utilize the new marketing and advertising skills I needed developed during the entire MBA 12 months.
My most significant achievement was coming to be aware of the client as well as to present a cutting-edge solution that had been warmly obtained. I also loved the chance to check out China as well as learn Mandarin, so rotation really topped off my MBA encounter as well as adding to my personal expansion.

MY Profession

My frequent interaction with the Career Professional services team was extremely good for me. After they knew I needed an interest in a particular company, installed me in contact with the right alumnus. In order to create my group so that it integrated the kind of experts I thought about being connected with, it absolutely was not always easy-I needed to implement the tools I had been equipped with at Hult, even so.
Immediately after graduating day, on August 16 2012, I received my job supply with the International Finance Firm (IFC). It was my initially choice of employer as I had aimed to get results for development and especially for the Entire World Bank Class.


The MBA gave me the credentials and opportunity to enter this totally new professional industry-one who I had been enthusiastic about for several years. I think the system I have developed during my program, and also the training I got from my courses is going to be of advantage of me inside my current situation.

Hult International Business School Reviews



Alumni Perspective
Maria Sofia Yi, Peruvian
One-Year MBA, 2010, London
Product Manager, Interbank (Financial Services)

My degrees from Hult made me more competitive in the job market, which helped me to get a good job at one of the most important Peruvian holdings.

WHY HULT

I was attracted to the one-year program, the diversity of Hult’s student body, and the opportunity to rotate to Hult’s campuses across the globe.

MY LIFE AT HULT

The atmosphere on campus was simply great. We were all in the same situation—we were alone and about to start a new life for a year. We developed deep friendships, some of which have lasted right up until today. We studied, traveled, partied, and shared a memorable year together.

A GLOBAL HULT EXPERIENCE

My home campus was London, and I rotated to Shanghai. I had always wanted to study in London for three main reasons: I had never been to Europe before the MBA and London was a huge-multicultural and 24-hour city that had also achieved worldwide academic recognition. I decided to go to Shanghai because my family is from China and I wanted to have a different life experience in a place where the culture is completely different from my own. I am still happy with the choices I made in that time because I just loved both cities and I had the opportunity to learn and develop tolerance, patience, and a more open attitude towards different customs. Nowadays, I feel completely sure that I can adapt myself to different groups, places, and situations.
I feel tremendously lucky to have friends and Hultians to contact in many cities around the world. I am absolutely sure that the diversity in the class is the most important benefit of Hult MBA.

MY CAREER

My MBA and Master of Finance from Hult made me more competitive in the job market, which helped me to get a good job at one of the most important Peruvian holdings. Now I have a job with greater responsibility and more exposure to higher levels of management. Financially, I was able to triple my previous salary.

Why To Choose Hult For MBA - Maria Babone Villax



Student Perspective
Portuguese
One-Year MBA, 2014, London
Pre Hult: Lawyer, Abreu & Marques e Associados (Professional Services)

Each and every one of our fellow classmates is ready to help, to explain, to encourage, and to ensure that no one gets left behind.

WHY HULT

What I liked about Hult’s approach was the efficiency, the promptness, and the personal contact that was present throughout the recruitment process. When I started to look for schools offering MBA programs, I visited Hult’s site and requested a brochure. From that moment on, recruiters contacted me on a weekly basis and even met with me in Lisbon, my hometown. I was also drawn to Hult’s MBA program because of its innovative and modern approach to teaching, based on closeness between faculty members and students: this was mentioned in the literature I read prior to attending the school, and I can now confirm it to be true!

MY LIFE AT HULT

Hult’s atmosphere is one of its best points; the wide cultural diversity brings extremely interesting people together and the bonds one forms are deep and strong. Also, the fact that each person has a very different professional background contributes to a rich environment in the classroom, where each contributes and helps the other, with their specific set of skills. To illustrate this last point, we had a student with a background in engineering who held a three-hour class for the whole MBA cohort in order to answer our questions and doubts prior to a quantitative analysis exam.

The most inspirational faculty member for me would be Professor Terence Tse, who teaches Financial Management. His classes go at an overwhelming rhythm, yet they are fun, interesting, and challenging. So far, International Marketing has been my most rewarding course, as I find the behavior and psyche of the consumer a fascinating subject to understand and study. Being more of a people person than a number cruncher, being able to relate market trends to the psychology behind people’s wants, wishes, and needs (even if only to some degree), constitutes one of the most important tools I’m set to acquire
for pursuing my future goals. When pressure runs high at the end of the module, each and every one of our fellow classmates is ready to help, to explain, to encourage, and to ensure that no one gets left behind. The eight-hour marathon team meetings are interrupted by jokes, laughter, breathers, and the occasional mince pie offered by the staff. That is what makes us keep going and be able to successfully face all the challenges in front of us.
The people at Hult are what make this experience such a valuable one.

A GLOBAL HULT EXPERIENCE

I am planning to rotate to New York as I’m interested in pursuing a career in the fashion industry. As such, I feel that the city is the perfect complement to my experience in London, and that by studying in New York, I will surely gain useful professional contacts and an international network that will help me to pursue my goals.

MY CAREER

As I am set on pursuing a career in the fashion industry, Hult has already provided me with insightful advice on how I should proceed and approach the major career shift ahead of me (as I was previously a lawyer for five years). Furthermore, Hult has already given me serious options when it comes to contacts and internships from which I can start developing the required skills and understanding of what will be needed to complete a successful change and smooth transition.

Hult Reviews of MBA by - Kaushal Shah (RIDING HIGH)



Kaushal Shah, MBA Class of 1995 and Founder & Managing Director of Aspire talks about his incredible entrepreneurial journey. From four employees to over 400 today, Kaushal Shah has built his start-up, Aspire into a multi-million dollar offshore IT company serving clients such as Weight Watchers International in just over ten years. We caught up with Kaushal to find out more.

Kaushal, tell us more about your journey to becoming a successful entrepreneur and Founder/MD of Aspire.

After graduating from Hult, I stumbled into the IT industry. For the previous nine years, I had worked for an Italian marine construction company on their projects in Qatar, Brunei, and Lebanon. I was handling their HR, finance, and accounting and I had a very hardworking, diligent, and tough boss who exposed me to every element of business operations. I shadowed him and learned from his management style.

The most crucial element was learning that everything that occurs more than three to four times has to have a process. When I set up Aspire, I decided to run the company as a corporation from day one. I made everything process-oriented and scalable. I took some risks and grew the company from four resources back in 2003 to over 400 today. Back in 2003 nobody would have thought of Jordan as a suitable location for the delivery of outsourced IT services. It required a lot of work, patience, and investment in training and solid HR practices coupled with attention to detail and absolute focus on delivering quality from anyone involved.

When I set up Aspire, I decided to run the company as a corporation from day one. I made everything process-oriented and scalable.

Back in 2003 nobody would have thought of Jordan as a suitable location for the delivery of outsourced IT services. It required a lot of work, patience, and investment in training and solid HR practices coupled with attention to detail and absolute focus on delivering quality from anyone involved. 

Along my entrepreneurial journey I benefited from the combination of having grown up in a family with a flair for business and commerce as well as having had the opportunity to invest in my education while exposing myself to a variety of situations and activities; all of which helped me refine my understanding of what it takes to set up and grow a successful business.
Today Aspire is a successful IT services provider serving global markets from its base in Amman, Jordan. The suite of services provided encompasses all phases of the system development life-cycle for web and mobile applications, content management, customer support, remote network support, and data analysis

As an entrepreneur I also learned over the years that in order to accelerate the growth of my company I should focus on the establishment of key strategic relationships. Over the past few years Aspire was identified as one of the leading IT services com. panies in the MENA region. Today it enjoys a strategic partnership with one of the leading global IT services companies from the U.S. Thanks to this we are now very well positioned to dramatically expand the range of services available to our clients which now encompasses the full spectrum of services from business technology & process to consulting.

How did your time at Hult help your personal and professional development?

My time at the school gave me tremendous exposure to a truly global and multicultural network of students. Understanding different cultures and sharpening my communication skills was certainly a value-add to the traditional MBA.  The same network has proven very useful after graduation as well. I was also able to benefit from the mentoring by members of the academic staff both during and after my studies there.

Were you involved in any entrepreneurial activities while at the school?

The internship program I took part in during my studies allowed me to see real-life applications of the theoretical knowledge I had learned and to see how the theory worked in practice. Working with a financial executive at a PR and event management company provided the right opportunity to understand finance projections and cash flow management from the perspective of market and marketing objectives. It also helped me understand the business patterns and priorities that form the core of all successful businesses. Essentially it helped me in comprehending what works where, how, and when.

It also broadened my perspective to appreciate and comprehend cultural differences and work with them. This has been invaluable in my professional life when working with people from different cultural backgrounds such as the U.S., U.K., India, Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, and Brunei. The individual attention given to the students by the faculty and the provost in particular, was invaluable in helping facilitate ‘real’ learning.

What have been some of the highs and lows in setting up your own IT Company?

Setting up and running Aspire has been and still is a great high. Growing the company, starting with a big break in 2003 when we started supporting Weight Watchers International and seeing new clients like Gilt Groupe, Borderfree.com, Smarter Travel Media, Jetsetter, IBM, BP, Aramex, and Publicis among others, giving us very positive feedback as well as good business was fantastic.
Also, being able to add new services and create employment and growth opportunities for young and well-educated Jordanians is a real thrill.

There have certainly been challenges along the way. Aspire has evolved, following the growth curve of the ICT sector in the MENA region. Lobbying government agencies, ensuring that robust processes are developed and followed, as well as changing the traditional biases that the West may have towards the Middle East are not easy tasks. Similarly injecting the latest HR practices and remaining a leader in our sector in the region presented and continues to present a variety of challenges but what would success be without the overcoming of challenges? 

What advice would you offer someone looking to launch their own business in the field of professional services?

Be focused and envision what you want to achieve. Keep learning; take a chance; give 120% to everything that you do; work towards the best but always be prepared for the worst; and above all, focus on the details.
