Why did you decide to do an MBA?
I came to Ivey to fill the gaps I knew I had: accounting, finance, strategy. I also wanted to transition into a new geography and a new level of work. I'd spent years executing, building digital products, improving processes, working inside systems other people designed. I wanted to move from making things work to deciding what we build in the first place. I also have a 10 to 15 year plan to leave corporate work and run my own businesses, and I needed the business foundation I'd never formally studied. The MBA isn't just about the next job. It's about setting up the long game: leadership in my field by year five, and eventually the freedom to build something of my own, with more control over my time and more time with the people I love.
