Alumni of the month testimonial

Ali Abdelhakim

MBM Alumnus Cohort 2019

Ever since I joined MSB it was a great experience during my pursuit of my license and my Master's degree at MSB, as an international student, MSB was my first choice as a prestigious and a well recognized institution and as a destination that welcomed students from different cultures and different backgrounds due to its diverse and welcoming culture. Moreover, as a Libyan student most of the time i felt welcomed as Tunisia and Libya were not so different in terms of habits and traditions yet I became friends with many students and many faculty members. MSB offers more than an environment where the skills and knowledge that I acquired during my experience were not only the product of the courses offered but were also a result of the competent professors that I encountered during my time here. Eventually I just want to say that MSB will always be part of me.

Our valuable network consists of a diverse range of industries and sectors such as automotive, banking, and financial services, manufacturing and processing, transport and coordination, customer service, and pharmaceuticals and health technologies to name a few. We offer our partners different opportunities consisting of:

Advertising vacancies and reach out to our broad and diverse range of students and alumni with diverse backgrounds.
The possibility of scheduling a privileged recruitment session.

Karim Laabidi

EMBA alumnus Testimonial Cohort 2011

Participating in the EMBA program at MSB was the best decision I have ever made in my life! It is an outstanding program that developed my Entrepreneurial Spirit and boosted my career. Thanks to its global education and its renowned international faculty coming from prestigious universities, I improved my managerial skills, and I launched my own business in different fields. It was also a great opportunity to meet talented and amazing managers from around the world. This life-changing EMBA program could not have been a success without the support and help of a professional and lovely MSB staff! Today I'm very self-confident and well equipped to run my businesses and lead companies’ transformations.

Aicha Kallel

MSB Alumna

The undergraduate program at the Mediterranean School of Business has given me so much more than I expected when I first started it in 2016. I’ve learned so much from its highly dedicated and supportive professors. I believe that the skills and knowledge I acquired are the keys to a successful career. During my final year, I went on an exchange semester to IE Business School, Madrid which was an eye-opening experience. Overall, I can say that I am grateful to MSB for providing a wonderful learning environment and a wide range of opportunities for growth.

Sana MILADI

Director of Undergraduate & HEC Montreal 2+2 Programs

Le programme BAA 2+2 MSB – HEC Montréal est une formation d’élite qui s’inscrit dans le cadre de la politique d’excellence de la MSB et de la recherche de partenaires de renommée internationale. La diversité des cultures est un enrichissement aussi bien pour nos étudiants que pour l’équipe MSB. Nous sommes fiers de compter HEC Montréal parmi nos partenaires et souhaitons développer d’autres formes de collaboration avec cette institution pour faciliter à nos étudiants l’accès à des expériences à l’international.

ROBERT MARX

Professor of management, University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

Addressing the EMBA participants: … When I taught the 04 class in June I realized that there was something special here in Tunis when I walked in at 6.30 P.M. to tell everyone that it was time to go home and they said they wished to stay and complete the exercise. And then seeing you all together 04 and 05 in Djerba, it was even clearer that your appreciation for learning and your creativity to handle new situations was unusual.

Mouna Ben Halima

Alumna Cohort 2008

Being a part of the EMBA Program has totally changed my vision of my professional commitment and my way of developing my business. During my EMBA studies, I felt like I was traveling during each course, relentlessly studying success stories around the world, and cases where courage and bravery to undertake risks were the key words!

I finished my studies with the conviction that I no longer had the right to continue working according to the same model as before, and that I had to seek out strategies that create diversity, and innovation. And, that’s how the Hotel La Badira was born. I would never have thought of doing it without the indisputable contribution of these two wonderful years I spent at MSB.

Zeiger Cyril

Directeur d’usine

Le programme Mini MBA est une bonne alternative à un MBA classique assuré en partenariat entre la MSB Tunis et HEC Montréal. Les professeurs de ces deux écoles qui assurent l’enseignement sont des professionnels de haut niveau qui transmettent leurs expériences respectives à travers des cours participatifs et très interactifs. Cette formation a considérablement renforcé mes compétences de manager. J’ai pu y apprendre et mettre en pratique de nouveaux outils de gestion importants, dans des domaines aussi variés que la logistique, l’analyse financière ou l’habileté de management de personnes. Elle m’a également enrichie sur les bonnes pratiques de direction d’entreprise à avoir en 2021. L’ensemble des modules enseignés seront un véritable plus pour la suite de ma carrière et auront un impact réel sur moi, en tant que personne et en tant que professionnel.

Leila Ben Hassine

Cohort 2011

My decision to enroll in EMBA program was unequivocally one of the best of my career.

When i started on my MBA at MSB in 2011, I was hoping that my degree would provide me with the credentials and business acumen to someday take on a role like this. I have to say the Executive MBA program gave me a lot more than I expected it was.

It gave me invaluable experience working through real-life business problems. Brilliant professors made this adventure astonishing through extensive collaboration and experience exchange. It was a hard road because the expectations are high but rewards at the end are higher.

It offered me the opportunity to reflect on my post professional experience as a whole, giving me the confidence and enthusiasm, enabling me to progress in my career and to open my own business , it gave me a refined set of skills that make me a proactive decision maker.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone who is seeking an advanced degree in business

Mohamed Zrafi

EMBA Student Testimonial Cohort 2019

Staying on the cutting edge of management skills development, receiving a high standard of international education while being in Tunisia, and pursuing professional experience at the same time, is no more living in a cloud cuckoo land.

After about 17 years of professional experience, I have enrolled in the MBA program in MSB. This is undoubtedly an unprecedented opportunity to bring freshness into my engineering and professional background. It supported me in getting more insights and bringing a positive contribution to the company's strategic decisions. Investing in an Executive MBA in MSB is an inspiring experience that will definitely shape future leadership skills.

Malek El Mufti

HEC Program Student

I graduated from the ISC (International Scholl of Carthage) with honors (14.2/20) in the scientific baccalaureate series. After a sabbatical year where I learned German and other languages and did various training, I heard about the MSB-HEC Montreal partnership. It was for my discovery and I was able, after passing my entrance tests, to integrate the program. From the first year, I was able to establish a large network which, each in its own way, brought me the added value and with whom I shared my experiences. This richness in the sharing of knowledge taught me a lot, whether it was from the inside with the students or from the outside with teachers or characters who came to testify to their "success stories". I was also impressed by the quality of the teachers, some of whom came especially from HEC Montreal to give us classes. The extra-curricular atmosphere is also rich and omnipresent throughout the various clubs that the campus offers. I consider the preparatory year to be very important in order to be at the level required to integrate the North American university system.

Ilef KACEM

Valedictorian Licence 2015

It is with great pleasure that I have learnt about my acceptance at IESEG for a double-degree MSB-IESEG Master program thanks to the partnership between the two universities. My 3-year academic journey at the Mediterranean School of Business allowed me to shape my professional career along with a self-development accomplishment. Now, moving forward with a Master Grande Ecole at IESEG will certainly further strengthen my competencies.

Dmytro Mlynchyk

Procurement & supply chain intern @ Geoseis Tunisie

At the moment my focus is on design practice and entrepreneurship. I have co-founded a design studio with a focus on strategic product development, concept design, business modeling, research, and art direction.

Studying at MSB and doing an exchange program at Nova SBE brought a huge impact on how I see things. First of all its ability to see a bigger picture with in-depth analyses of what is needed to be achieved. Secondly, it is a strategic mindset of how a certain thing can evolve or improve over time. Finally, such experience brought me an understanding of how I can implement this knowledge in a different industry and make the best of two worlds. will be honest saying that the whole educational process at MSB was very inspiring and gave me more confidence in myself.

Lotfi Chakchouk

Studies & Mentoring Intern @ Tunisi Clearing

I remember when I decided to follow Business studies at the Mediterranean School of Business, A journey full of opportunities that developed my knowledge within the business field and forged my personality to become a better version of me. I am pleased to announce that I got a scholarship from MSB’s partner, IESEG Business school, for the Grande Ecole master’s program. This new adventure will boost my enthusiasm to develop a professional network through interaction with international students and exchanging knowledge to reach a higher level of added value.

Cyrine Salhi

(UPM Alumni 2019) SMU Alumni Association/Marketing

" I took this time to reflect on my work in the alumni association and I realized the impact it had on my personal growth and professionalism as well. On a professional aspect, I became more self-confident about the importance of cultivating a network of alumni and more aware of the efforts conducted by SMU into cultivating and uniting us. As a personal aspect, It helped keep contact with old alumni and get inspired by their paths and be more confident with my engagements. My time in the association has enhanced many skills such as time management, analysis, and communication skills and I am thankful for the chance I had to work closely with the members of the board and especially with the career center members, who were very helpful and guided me in every step."

Mehdi Kallel

Alumnus Testimonial Cohort 2010

With an engineering background and after 10 years working for the ASSAD Group at various managerial positions, I decided to go for an Executive MBA at MSB in 2010. It was a great experience that helped me better understand the different aspects of the business and be more focused on the opportunities to develop. Today, 10 years later, I am managing 3 subsidiaries within the ASSAD Group in a new business line that we developed to diversify our activity. Thank you MSB Team for your contribution to boosting my career.

Firas Guezguez

SAP commerce Project manager @ FH madrid

I enrolled in the UPM program in 2014 after graduating with a license in management at MSB. This was an obvious choice for me as I wanted to pursue a career in consulting in Europe and the UPM program at MSB was the most complete program to answer my needs. My time at MSB as a master's student in business analytics and Big Data marked a tipping point in my professional career. My specific aim was to learn how to make sense of and derive intelligence from the increasing amounts of data that businesses hold about their operations and customers. I wanted to understand and learn about the latest trends available to tackle contemporary business challenges. Usefully, MSB additionally provides soft skills-related courses such as public speaking and professional presentations to complement the technical skills taught in the core subjects. At the same time, the class environment was genuinely enjoyable, and the 2 years were valuable and rewarding experiences at a personal level. Today, 4 years after graduating from MSB, I can confirm that choosing the MSB UPM program was the right decision as I am currently holding a project manager position working with digitalization projects throughout Europe.

Scott KEATING

EMBA Visiting Professor & professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

I am thoroughly impressed with the Mediterranean School of Business. The students are as good as taught at top US and British business schools. They are so eager to learn, and really appreciate new concepts and ways of thinking. The facilities are first rate: a good amphitheater classroom, and state-of-the art technology. I have benefited greatly by my time at the MSB.

Ines Haj Romdhane

L3 Student

Throughout my studies at MSB, i had the opportunity to meet many incredible people. Being active in many clubs helped me a lot. Since my first year, I was already part of the student life community and Enactus SMU. I also was one of the founders of the Lions Club and became one of the ambassadors of the EFMD Platform Highered. These extrasolar activities helped me learn many new skills. I had the opportunity to discover public speaking in Enactus and Communication and event organizing with student life. In my second year, I became the student life coordinator at MSB, this job is an amazing experience as it helped me grow and become more organized in my studies. Thanks to MSB I had the opportunity to participate and co-organize many hackathons, one of them was the biggest one in Africa AI HACK. This hackathon was one of the best experiences in my life as I had the opportunity to meet many people from Google Mena that had always inspired me. When I first joined MSB, I would have never thought that I will be able to do all of this, I always thought that I was more up for engineering studies. But with time I saw the potential of a business student in me and thanks to the professors and the amazing community we have here I even got the chance to start and become the project manager of a sustainable clothing line with Enactus. In two years I learned a lot and grow so much. I will forever be thankful. One piece of advice I can give is to always believe that you are capable of more, that’s the key to success.

Karim Hammami

DG Audi et Porsche Tunisie (Groupe Ennakl)

L’année 2020, n’est pas l’année que nous attendions, mais c’est l’année que nous avons eu !

C’est l’année qui nous a poussé à tellement de changements dans notre manière de vivre, de nous comporter et de travailler.

C’est l’année qui a apporté à chacun d’entre nous plusieurs challenges, personnels et professionnels.

C’est l’année qui nous a mené à de nombreuses transformations dans nos entreprises et qui nous a montré que derrière tout changement, il y a une opportunité.

2020 c’est aussi l’année du premier Mini MBA à la MSB !

Comme vous l’avez compris, nous aussi durant ce Mini MBA nous avons dû nous adapter à de multiples contraintes (présentielle, Hybride, à distance) et de changements de programmation dû à la Covid 19.

Tous ensemble, nous y sommes parvenus grâce notamment au professionnalisme de l’équipe de la MSB, la disponibilité des professeurs qui malgré le décalage horaire avec le Canada, ont pu remplir parfaitement et avec compétence tous les cours programmés.

Pour nous « les étudiants », Chefs d’entreprise, Cadres supérieurs, cette expérience nous a permis de nous replonger dans le magnifique milieu estudiantin tout en partageant tous ensemble nos différentes expériences professionnelles.

Ce Mini MBA a été pour nous une opportunité de nous redécouvrir, mieux nous connaitre à travers de multiples cas pratiques avec l’aide de professeurs compétents, maitrisant parfaitement leur sujet.

Les différents modules étudiés ont répondu à l’ensemble des compétences que doit maitriser un bon manager.

Jeunes ou moins jeunes, nous avons tous utilisé cette jeunesse pour apprendre le plus de choses possibles et de nous éloigner de l’ignorance tout en nous rapprochant jour après jours de nos rêves !

Chadli Hentati

(EMBA Alumnus Testimonial Cohort 2011)

The Executive MBA offered me the opportunity to develop my leadership and general management skills through an exceptionally interactive and team-based approach to learning.

Having a more technical background, I chose this MBA because it helped me move into management and think holistically when solving problems in an everyday business environment. The program has a strong international focus which makes it exciting and challenging, at the same time. Studying at MSB gave me the opportunity to work with some of the most remarkably dynamic academics and professionals whose experience was inspiring. The MSB Executive MBA experience has exceeded my expectations, in my opinion, it has been a positive leap towards my professional goals.

Sofiene Souilhi

(EMBA Alumnus Testimonial Cohort 2017)

"We all have the academic profoundities of theory, the architecture of corporate structure and finance. But when I chose to do this EMBA programm at MSB I was looking for the real world.

The higher you go in an organization the less it becomes about technical skills and the more it becomes about leadership skills and what the EMBA programm offered is this way to start with how does the world works and then how does it come down to what I do in a company on a day to day basis.

It's a lot to get a degree, but in this programm you are here to be permanantly part of a community with students from diverse backgrounds and to be learning over life of your career of a long as you want to.

I would'nt say enough of how the professors and the programm staff committed to the success of this programm and the success of us as individuals.

It truelly made this an exceptional life experience."

Souheil Ben Abdallah

EMBA alumnus Testimonial Cohort 2010

The last two years have been very rich in activities carried out and efforts to reposition the SMU Alumni Association and raise the brand and awareness among the SMU University staff and Alumni and bring them closer to the values and good practices of Alumni associations worldwide. One of my self-imposed goals during this term as president of SMU Alumni Association (SAA) has been to foster relationships among our Board of Directors, Alumni members as well as students. Strong relationships have been critical to the success of our term. As fellow Alumni of SMU University, we quickly became colleagues, collaborators and—most of all—friends. I’m confident that the valuable relationships we have forged will continue well into the future.

It has been a distinct and honor for me to serve as president of SAA. This has been one of the greatest satisfactions I have had in a volunteer role—and definitely the most fun. I’ve been thankful for the opportunity to lead such a distinguished board of directors and represent all Alumni members. With each passing year, we continue to see alumni who achieve notable accomplishments, represent us well and deepen our pride in SMU”

Sahar Krichen

UPM Alumni Testimonial 2019 Finance

I am currently enrolled in a master’s program at INSA business school in Barcelona, Spain.

Earning a bachelor’s degree from the Mediterranean school of business opened the doors for international studies thanks to its 100% English curriculum, with English being the business language. The background of MSB’s students is very rich in terms of material studied; finance, management, marketing, entrepreneurial courses, history … which in return, in addition to the international reach, gave me a wider range of fields to choose from. Some graduates choose to pursue master’s studies, others to start working, I chose both.

I chose a less heavy master’s program, night hours, so that I can start my long-term internship here in Barcelona. Going through many interviews, I found myself able to discuss technical terms with employers and to show my background in the skills required for the positions.

The effort exerted by SMU in offering internship opportunities to students via email is important and beneficial because professional experience is what is going to make a difference between one graduate and another when being recruited.

UPM alumni class 2019 Finance

« I was enrolled in the UPM program at MSB and graduated in 2019 with a diploma in Business Administration, majoring in Finance. Afterwards, I decided to pursue my master's in international business at IESEG School of Management, in Paris. Both experiences made me see things big and want to work in multiple and diverse environments and cultures (in this case, in multinational firms and more specifically, in a Big Four). As a result, now, I am doing a 6-month internship in Audit at Deloitte Luxembourg.

Finally, I am very honored to represent SMU as well as my country abroad and I will be more than happy to share my experiences with current SMU students and help them in their future academic and career choices. »

UPM alumni 2017 Finance

I am currently finishing my Master of Science in Innovation Management, Entrepreneurship and Sustainability at the Technical University of Berlin. I am also studying 1 semester at the Technical University of Valparaíso, Chile. In terms of professional experience, I have worked for 1 year and a half as a research assistant in International Economics at ESCP Berlin and am currently working as a Business Development Manager in a biotechnology company also in Berlin.

Regarding my text, kindly let me know if it meets your expectations.

I graduated from MSB in 2017 with a major in Finance. The university provided me with the support system and values that I needed to pursue a degree abroad. During those years, MSB was very open to new ideas such as the creation of the innovation lab and founding Enactus SMU in which I took part, respectively. We had the opportunity to work closely with the faculty members and professors and were always encouraged to initiate, create and dream. This enabled me to grow with an entrepreneurial mindset and a go-getter attitude that I have always kept and that are beneficial for my current job and master's degree. MSB also cared about my academic evolution and awarded me with a merit scholarship that encouraged me to work harder and dream bigger. It is a university that gives you the tools and the support system that you need in any working environment and studies. As a student you have to take advantage of them as they will enable you to face challenges and experiences that you might undertake at home or abroad."

(UPM Alumni 2019) Marketing

I am Mohamed Rafik Triki, 22 years old, graduated from SMU in 2019, had an internship with the communication department in the administration of SMU which was very beneficial for me to know more about design, formal communication, retro-planning, events management etc...

I went to the United States for the pursue of my path, I joined Stratford University in October 2019 and I just graduated this month with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, I missed some credits to apply for Master`s so I am done with it.

I was rewarded 2 times for the last 2 terms with the President list award after having an "A" or 4.00 out of 4.00 as GPA. I also got certificates from LinkedIn e-learning platforms on social media, marketing and communication and business development topics.

I am now going for Master`s degree in MIS Management Information Systems as I believe it is so important to combine both worlds, IT and Business together.

I also had a small career at work, I started with an administrative assistant of Stratford University as an international student worker and I worked on many projects in several offices regarding registrar, communication, student life, admission and international student offices.

Then, I was chosen to be the primary assistant of the president of one of 4 campuses that belongs to Stratford University where I was working on files that are highly classified, councils and heads of departments.

Lately, I was assigned to take care of all the administrative and important projects for the Vice President of Stratford University head administration, collaborating with doctors, managers and highly skilled and experienced people who are very inspiring.

I also made a promotional video of the university talking about my experience as an international student here and working on many other campaigns and advertisements related to the organization I am working for.

People are impressed by the work I am doing as they express and announce it and I would always give credits to MSB for enhancing my growth as a person and for helping me have a profile that would add value to other organizations.

I am working on projects that would give opportunities to students from SMU to continue their studies here in the U.S.A and a partnership between both institutions.

(UPM alumni 2019) Marketing

In my last year as an undergraduate at MSB, I hesitated for a long time whether to continue studying or to jump in the professional world straight away. Through extended discussions with faculty members and many conferences held at MSB I finally find my path by creating my company. I just obtained the Startup Act Label, there is still a long way to go but I am optimistic and confident about the future.

One of the greatest choices of my life is choosing MSB for my License degree.

From my school, I did not only gain technical skills, but also real-life experience.

MSB provided me with a very rich and qualified background that I am still using in my postgraduate studies in competition with students coming from different highly ranked universities worldwide.

Now I am pursuing my Master Studies at one the best ranked schools in France thanks to the opportunities the MSB gave me with its different partners.

The Mediterranean School of Business offers a multidisciplinary program adapted to the dynamic economic environment in which a highly qualified teaching staff supports you in developing new skills and an administration that helps you whenever you need.

Thanks to MSB, I was able to acquire new tools and techniques to adapt to a constantly changing market, which is an advantage that I consider precious and necessary to have an important place in the modern world.

Having lived the MSB experience was for me an honor and an excellent opportunity to learn new things that help me today in my professional career.
