Managerial Skills
I was working for a consulting firm in Greece when I realised how important managerial skills would be for my professional development. An MBA was the way to go. From a background of Business Administration and Finance & Accounting, one might say that an MBA cannot offer much more than I already knew, but as it turned out, St.Gallen was so much more than only business related knowledge.

Banking Industry
Wanting to enter the banking industry, Switzerland was an obvious option. The reputation of the University of St.Gallen, its wide network of contacts and alumni and its favorable location strengthened my sentiment towards St.Gallen. After visiting the campus and meeting the faculty, my feelings were affirmed and the St.Gallen MBA became my first choice.
