Why did you choose PGPMAX programme?

Having worked across multiple industries and leading sales teams at national levels, I had gained a deep understanding of the sales function. However, I wanted to build a strong foundation on how various other functions within a business such as marketing, strategy, finance, operations work so that I could hone my skills to lead an entire business rather than just a function. I wanted a programme which could help me build a strong professional network, get an insight into global practices, and become a better business strategist and a strong general manager. ISB PGPMAX is the right programme since it helps me study along with my work and apply classroom learning into the practical world.
