My career goal is to succeed in consulting across institutions at McKinsey. I have a strong background in Finance and believe that MBA would provide the right environment to achieve this goal. Personally, I also believe that a global MBA would help in broadening my perspectives to increase the reach of my teaching initiatives across the globe.
