When I was at Harvard Business School, 90% of my classmates worked at large companies, so their goal was to get promoted or get a better salary. As compared to HBS, where I was doing mostly case studies, CKGSB is unique in that it’s mostly for entrepreneurs to learn practical and real skillsets that they can apply to their business immediately. It’s experiential.

It is a daunting challenge for a business school to bring so many truly A-list business leaders together, but CKGSB has managed to hit another home run.

Through the coming years’ studying, I hope to fully understand the CKGSB Business Scholars Program (DBA) as well as to better understand myself and better understand society. I’m looking forward to learning and making progress together with my classmates.

All my classmates are very experienced and successful. There is a strong desire of learning knowledge and self-improvement. We interact with each other. This is a positive learning environment.

The honesty of CKGSB professors is truly admirable. They’re not trying to sugar-coat things, they are not trying to paint a picture of imaginary China, they are trying to give us the real deal China. The good, bad and the ugly, the truth. So they are giving us their utmost honest feedback and guidance on how to properly do business here, and that’s, again, priceless. So if you want to do business here, with all the positives that we said about the faculty of getting the truth, you’ve got to immerse yourself directly into this program.

We were friends and entrepreneurs who have admired each other for a long time. But today, everything has simplified into one single mission - and that is studying. I believe that, in order to realize a new business civilization with a global perspective, all of us will work hard. Let’s expect a change and a transcendence in the future.

I would like to gain an open, authentic first-hand insight into the cultural and operational aspects of doing business well with China and its broad, diverse community. I see this opportunity to support CKGSB as a mutual way to make solid personal and business connections. My experience consists of working on events in China on a project only basis, and of servicing private Chinese clients across Europe. I would like to significantly expand on this experience. I am keen to meet potential ‘good fit’ partners/investors who will help lay strong foundations and successfully develop Alite Global in China. I am happy to share my personal journey and business experiences to help CEOs develop, succeed and thrive."
