The vibrant diverse campus community enriched my experience further, fostering invaluable professional networks and lifelong friendships. This program has not only equipped me with critical business acumen and analytical skills but also instilled a passion for data to drive impactful decisions. I am profoundly grateful for the transformative education and opportunities that have significantly shaped my professional and personal growth at SMU.

Reflecting on my academic and career journey, SMU has been pivotal in shaping my future aspirations. From igniting my interest in finance during my bachelor's in business administration to providing an exceptional CFA-affiliated master's program, SMU empowered me to excel. As a peer tutor, I had the privilege of sharing my passion for financial accounting and finance, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding among fellow students.

I truly appreciate the initiative by MSB and the continuous engagement with alumni. I joined MSB in 2019 and completed my bachelor’s degree in business administration with a specialization in Management. The diversified program at MSB provided me with a comprehensive package and strong knowledge base, which significantly contributed to my professional development. After earning my diploma, I was accepted into one of the top ten business schools in France, thanks to the excellent program and international experience I gained at MSB.

Currently, I am working as a Junior Consultant in B2B Customer Service at Orange Business. In this role, I pilot and manage an aftersales and performance transformation program across various countries in Europe and Africa. This role has been an enriching experience, and I owe much of my success to a course I took at MSB—a virtual exchange course in consultancy with Georgia State University. This course was the first trial with my cohort, and it was a success. I have been following its progress, and I am glad to see that it is still being continued and reinforced. It makes me happy that future MSB students can benefit from it as well. The theme of our consultancy project was about the telecommunications world in Africa, and it resonated with my future manager at Orange during the interview process. This experience provided a perfect introduction not only to the consulting world but also to this vast industry.

I am glad that I can share my story and give my thanks to the MSB family, especially to Professor Asma Chaibi and Professor Mourad Dakhli. I am proud to be an alumnus.

My journey at MSB Tunis was nothing short of transformative. As an undergraduate student pursuing my bachelor’s degree in business, Management, and Marketing, I was immersed in a comprehensive program that laid a solid foundation for my career. The curriculum was not only robust but also exceptionally relevant, covering all essential aspects of business and management.

One of the most impactful areas for me was marketing. The courses and hands-on projects ignited a passion for the field, guiding my decision to pursue a master’s degree in marketing. The support and guidance from the faculty were instrumental in shaping my academic and professional journey.

MSB Tunis's extensive network and partnerships opened numerous doors for me. Thanks to their collaboration with IESEG Lille, I had the incredible opportunity to further my studies in France. This experience was pivotal, as it broadened my horizons and enriched my understanding of global marketing strategies.

After completing my master's degree in France, I spent three years working in the marketing sector, gaining invaluable experience and skills. Today, I am proud to work as a recruiter in Amsterdam, a role that allows me to combine my business acumen and marketing expertise to connect talented individuals with their dream careers.

MSB Tunis played a crucial role in my development, providing me with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities needed to succeed in the competitive business world. I am forever grateful for the education and experiences I gained during my time there, and I highly recommend MSB Tunis to anyone looking to pursue a career in business and management.

I got my license degree in summer 2019 at MSB, five years ago. Then I joined IHEC Carthage for research master’s in economics and financial engineering. I finished my master’s degree in 2021. My professional career started in November 2021 even though I was already working while preparing my master's thesis. I started working as a Business Developer / Ingénieure d'affaires in the IT Industry: I started from scratch, I did not have any idea about it. I learned slowly and kept improving day by day. As my role is quite sensitive (I am in direct relation with Customers and Businesses: B2B, B2C) all the courses and skills I learned in MSB were " my real-life weapons “. All the communication, negotiation and psychology courses helped me to acquire soft skills that shaped later my professional profile / personality. I am very grateful to MSB for the academic background but also for the life lessons: Psychology and Negotiation courses for example, really helped me to build a very respectable professional image. Today, three years after joining this field, I can say that I have proven myself: my qualities in management, communication, teamwork and seriousness have allowed me to acquire a high level of professionalism. I highly recommend MSB to anyone who would like to enter the world of work by being very well trained and having the necessary personal qualities which will make them a very competent person.

The Mediterranean School of Business (MSB) has been instrumental in shaping my success and forming the cornerstone of my career.

The school's commitment to fostering innovation and critical thinking continues to influence my professional endeavors, enabling me to contribute effectively to global development initiatives.

Living and studying in diverse cultural contexts have greatly influenced my approach to problem-solving and innovation. Exposure to different educational systems and professional environments has allowed me to adapt and thrive in various roles despite the young age. My last position after almost four years as an E-Learning and Outreach Expert with the United Nations Development Program Regional Office in Europe and Central Asia, where I lead and implement international crowdfunding academies, is a testament to the comprehensive education and guidance I received at MSB and beyond.

Beyond my formal roles, I’ve been actively engaged in promoting critical thinking and youth empowerment.

Additionally, my participation in the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network Youth Program and receiving scholarships like the Caux Scholars Program and the American University' Research grant have been pivotal in personal and professional careers.

My belief in the power of education and community engagement drives me every day. I am committed to fostering positive social change and creating inclusive development opportunities for youth and marginalized communities worldwide. As I continue my journey, I remain dedicated to leveraging my skills and experiences to make a meaningful impact.

Reflecting back, SMU has been instrumental for two main reasons: the Entrepreneurship of the Future competition and the emphasis on English proficiency. The competition not only introduced me to the world of entrepreneurship but also ignited a passion within me that continues to drive my endeavors today. Moreover, SMU's dedicated focus on English significantly enhanced my proficiency, playing a pivotal role in securing a scholarship opportunity in the U.S. This not only provided me with academic opportunities but also confirmed my entrepreneurial path.

I extend my deepest gratitude to SMU for the outstanding education that has been pivotal in shaping my professional endeavors. As I am reflecting on my academic and career path, I realize that SMU played a crucial role in forging my professional success and personal growth.

The comprehensive and rigorous curriculum at SMU laid a strong foundation, enabling me to intern in the United States upon completing my bachelor’s degree, and eventually secure a position as a Financial Valuation Analyst at Deloitte, one of the Big Four global accounting firms, setting the seal on my capstone internship project. 

Specializing in finance during my master’s years at SMU, I gained valuable hands-on knowledge of practical business concepts, which paved the way for me to delve into the world of ERP consulting. In fact, as a testimony to SMU’s top-tier education, I firmly believe that my academic journey was instrumental in honing my technical acumen and advancing my interpersonal skills; thereby, smoothing my transition from the lecture halls into a dynamic career in ERP consulting as a QAD Financial Systems Consultant. 

Ultimately, it is noteworthy to mention that the outcome of such a distinctive learning opportunity was definitely one of continuous improvement, depicting proficiency in superintending and resolving over 300 support activities along with end-to-end implementation projects, issuing relevant recommendations, and all in all delivering superior value to multinational clients such as LEAR Corporation and LEM International SA through meeting their processes specifications, whilst aligning those with the capabilities of the ERP system. 

Whether it be the undergraduate or graduate program, SMU’s curriculum introduces students to a plethora of real-world case studies and a myriad of in-class projects that not only harness their hard and soft skillset, but most notably foster their sound character traits encapsulating a strong sense of accountability when confronted with challenging scenarios.  

I have personally achieved a refined versatility threshold in both finance and IT, leveraging the invaluable insights derived from the wisdom bequeathed by my dear professors, all without exception, to whom I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for the mentorship and unwavering support throughout my university years.

SMU is ongoingly instilling an unparalleled work ethic among aspiring professionals, which in turn yields a significant differentiation conveyed by means of students’ monumental dedication, astounding qualifications, as well as their enduring in-demand core competencies; serving as a testament to the institution’s solid grounding relayed through an established blueprint that is closely empowering graduates’ vision towards potential uncovering and expertise unlocking, in addition to promoting self-discovery of one’s own intrinsic value.

One of my MSB professors introduced me to the Thomas Jefferson Scholarship in the USA, which I was fortunate to receive along with a select group of Tunisians. This scholarship marked my first experience abroad and transformed me into a global citizen. The exposure to different cultures and international perspectives enriched my understanding of global markets and finance, which has been invaluable in my career.

4. Advanced Education and Career Path: After discovering Catolica Business School of Business and Economics in Lisbon through its partnership with MSB, I decided to pursue an MSc in Finance there. This advanced education provided a strong foundation in financial analysis and investment strategies. My master’s program included an exchange semester in Thailand, which further broadened my international experience. My subsequent roles in a hedge fund and a fintech in Paris allowed me to diversify my expertise and adapt to various financial environments. Today, as the Group Head of Marketing at an investment bank, I leverage my extensive background to drive strategic growth and offer innovative financing solutions.

In conclusion, the Mediterranean School of Business played a crucial role in shaping my career trajectory and personal growth.
