Global Stories

“I developed the ability to adapt to a new culture and at the same time learned how to pace myself to succeed both academically and at job-hunting, which was invaluable. Being flexible and adaptable is required in the current changing job market, and a Georgetown MBA prepared me for that.”

“GBE teaches teamwork, organization, communication, and professionalism in addition to valuable consulting skills. It is a particularly unique and rewarding experience.”

“Before business school, I had worked in the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. The first time I had worked in Latin America was with the GBE. I learned a lot from the GBE experience about the Brazilian market and people that help me in my work now.”

“Globalization is here to stay, and it is essential for businesses today to realize that and take advantage of globalization. Working on a long-term project for Nestlé over the course of the semester allowed my team and me the opportunity to study the company in depth and understand which factors of globalization Nestlé was most affected by.”

“The program begins with a deep dive into the global economy, and given the direction of the world, that class is only going to become more relevant and interesting. Every course has substantial elements of Georgetown’s global personality, whether it be through case studies based on businesses in Spain, or research projects about the business policies of South Africa.”

“I knew I wanted to work in different countries and develop an international career. I focused on the financial services industry, and with the help of Georgetown’s strong network, I was able to find a job that suits my career goals and interests.”

“One of the greatest challenges I have faced in the process of building this company on nights and weekends has been to set aside my own preconceived ideas about what the market needs. Rather, I focus on necessary work and research in order to identify the true issues companies face when attempting to access the global public sector technology market.”

“Regardless of what opportunities you choose from the university, such as studying abroad, you will surely have a global experience just by meeting all of your classmates. I have friends from every continent thanks to Georgetown, so I feel support from every corner of the world.”

“We were motivated by our experiences at Georgetown University to create value, serve a niche need, and make a positive impact while delivering services. Our values emphasize our commitment to socio-economic development and align with the Jesuit principles of service to society and the community.”
