My personal example demonstrates that attending CEIBS Global EMBA can be truly transformational to one’s
career. At the time when I joined CEIBS back in 2009, I was managing a small regional business unit. Ten years after
completing my CEIBS Global EMBA, I am a CEO of a globally-leading organization with close to 50,000 employees
around the world. CEIBS Global EMBA challenged my thinking, expanded my network and gave me the confidence
and the toolkit with which to address the most complex business issues of today and tomorrow.

In the years since I graduated, I have found myself returning time and again to the insights about my leadership style that I
gained at CEIBS, including both my strengths and my blind spots. To me, this is a testament to the positive, and permanent,
impact that CEIBS has had on me — this experience has not diluted with the passage of time and remains highly relevant forme as a business leader.
Louise Vogler Global EMBA 2010
Head, Client Coverage Center of Excellence, Standard Chartered Bank

Amazing and unforgettable experience. The CEIBS Global EMBA programme overall is very well-adapted to the current volatilebusiness environment, comprising a great balance of unique China and overseas experiences. We were exposed to real-life
issues with appropriate pragmatic solutions to current challenges. The learning process is complemented with great professors
and a friendship developed with like-minded individuals from diverse cultures, academic backgrounds, and industries. This global
programme and the self-reflections it spurs have allowed me to successfully reshape my personal transformational journey. CEIBS
has become a family, with classmates and faculty continuing to support and develop my future needs.

Capstone Project
The Capstone Project, which takes place during the last 12 months of the programme, provides
participants with a unique opportunity to apply what they have learned in a practical business
context. Participants will tackle a real-life strategic problem or challenge currently facing aclassmate's organisation, giving the project real-world applicability. The project is designed forparticipants to blend management theory with business practice as they ‘connect the dots’ andintegrate the different business fundamentals that they have learned throughout the programme.
Students will form groups of 5-7 classmates and each group is assigned a CEIBS faculty member
who will guide them through the entire project with in-depth feedback and instruction. Each teamwill produce a 30-page report, which will then be orally defended by all team members in front of apanel of professors.

Having worked with all manner of MNCs these many years, I’m keen to learn from my CEIBS Global EMBA classmatesand explore different business profiles and operational setups. Exposure to different corporate profiles and networks
helps bring out unique business strategy considerations, challenges and trade-offs. No one size fits all, especiallyin today’s business landscape. Equally, being adaptive is critical when the world is at such an uncertain juncture.
Also having a strong network that is cross border elevates opportunities for professional and personal growth. I lookforward to the CEIBS programme being experiential, with real-world case studies, company visits, and opportunities
to learn from faculty members who have actual experience running businesses.

Drawing upon my experience as a healthcare professional, I've witnessed the challenges within Ghana's healthcare system,
motivating me to establish Isabella HealthCare Services—a company specializing in medical supply and consulting. This initiative
has since expanded into Isabella Med-Tech, a venture focused on manufacturing medical devices. By enrolling in the CEIBS Global
EMBA programme, I aim to receive formal training that will enhance my leadership skills and empower me to develop an innovativeand sustainable enterprise. Recognizing the importance of cultivating a robust global network and gaining a broader perspective
for business success, my goal over the next 5 years is to elevate the quality of healthcare delivery beyond Ghana. CEIBS perfectlyaligns with my vision of creating an impactful business. The programme's commitment to diversity and inclusivity excites me, as it
promises opportunities to learn from global peers and professors fueling my enthusiasm for the journey ahead.

I used to believe that during middle age, one's career would not undergo radical changes, only incremental growth. However,
the exceptional CEIBS Global EMBA journey has proven to me that as long as one is mentally prepared to embrace changes
and challenges, the rigorous curriculum, world-class faculty, and diverse student bodies at CEIBS can help them achieve
drastic growth beyond their expectations. The CEIBS Global EMBA programme allows me to integrate the essence ofmanagement concepts from both East and West, grounded in a multicultural environment. It also encourages bold imagination
as well as careful implementation of any business idea, no matter whether it’s at the personal or organizational level. Both big
and small transformations like these can lead to broader and more sustainable successes.
