The following is an computer-generated summary of the video transcript.

So I wanted to embark on a on a transformational journey and not just professionally, but also personally and wanted to always look into a It's an NBA program. I think that was the the trigger points to embark on that journey. Actually, I think the key thing was, first of all, and that there is that appears and that the experience of people that you are an executive programme is a bit higher. Then I think that is something that attracted me. Gamba with the campuses globally and one of the top business schools and being here in Asia, one of the growth markets and the drivers of the future. It was one of the key criteria for I'm from architecture and some of the cats. Yeah, So even before I started, I always knew it's going to be quite a diversity, but it's really amazing how that Okay, I mean the diversity in terms of culture, backgrounds, professions, that people is really, truly amazing. I couldn't even I can't even call them classmates anymore. They really become friends, and I'm just four month in and It's a truly exceptional group of people really caring about each other, helping each other. I think, yeah, as I mentioned before, it's going to be a friend for life, that's for sure. Yeah, obviously we are an unprecedented times at the moment, but I think for for an international business could pull that off. I mean, we all the on campus and everyone is really we have a hybrid model so people can zoom in as well, if if required. I think the school really invested a lot in technology to make that happen, and in addition to all the executive programs like globally, it's the one that's really open and that the neighbor said. So I think it really shows also the commitment of the of the faculty towards the education and towards serving there, the students and that's really great, I think, to feel that commitment. It's really part of kind of attempt where we work together. Part of one team that has one goal to drive forward education and growth with educated Uh yeah, yeah, one advice that we could give anyone that's considering doing an exotic executive program or I'm looking into. So either alumni or students, and that's what I've done. That really opened a very different perspective than what you can read in newspapers or or other brochures. Or, I mean, you get really a feel about how great the communities right and how much it push other people for it. I think that's that's something that I would really encourage people to do that mm.
