Developing exceptional leaders requires transformative experiences that broaden global perspectives. Porto Business School proudly witnessed International MBA students Nelson Felgueiras and Abhishek Kumar participating in a long-term exchange program at the Sasin School of Management in Bangkok.
During the month-long program, Nelson and Abhishek deepened their knowledge in Investment and Sustainability practices, gaining valuable insights that built upon their previous international experiences. The exchange not only expanded their understanding of business and work cultures in Southeast Asia but also underscored the importance of intercultural collaboration in the pursuit of innovative solutions, as they reflect in their testimonials:
Abhishek: "The exchange at Sasin in Bangkok made my International MBA experience even more diverse and well-rounded. It complemented the international exposure I gained in Europe, offering a fresh perspective on business and culture in Southeast Asia. The courses in Investments and Sustainability enriched my knowledge base and skills. The exchange also helped me forge new connections and develop novel problem-solving approaches with my cohort. It proved that growth happens when we are open to new learning experiences."
Nelson: "During my exchange at Sasin, I truly stepped out of my comfort zone. The decision to study in Southeast Asia was driven by my desire to immerse myself in a new culture and business environment. Interacting with a diverse cohort was incredibly enriching, and the Investments course with Professor Pattarake Sarajoti significantly enhanced my understanding of financial investments. This experience deepened my knowledge of Southeast Asian markets and prepared me to thrive in international business settings. My advice to future students is simple: embrace the experience and let everything unfold naturally."
