According to ePayLinks CEO and e-banking specialist David Zuo (GEMBA 2021), entrepreneurship is not just about enthusiasm or a dream, it is also about understanding local culture, the industry/market you’re walking into and allocating resources.

We sat down with the three-time-Emmy-winning social entrepreneur, Marcelle Lashley-Kaboré, to ask about her philosophy of education, upcoming projects and her hopes for the future of sustainable business.

Thanks to all our alumni for their outstanding contribution to the GEMBA community. Special congratulations to all those Alumni Ambassador Award recipients! Read more about the full list of the major contributions made by Global EMBA alumni in 2022.

We caught up with Zhongfei Wang to ask how it feels to bring her SOE perspective to the GEMBA learning environment, and what she has learned from her private sector counterparts.

An interview with CEIBS Global EMBA 2021 student Sean Cui

Transformation begins when you step out of your comfort zone

The electrification of automobiles is one of the most critical sustainability trends unfolding across the world today – but the clean energy revolution is also reaching into other areas, including the carbon-intensive business of public works projects. For Olivier Brault (Global EMBA 2019), this represents a sustainable growth market not to be missed. With graduation only a few months away, we spoke to the Canadian national about how it feels to be winding down his studies as his business venture – Gamotech – is ramping up.

Why is word of mouth so important to applicants when it comes to deciding when and where to apply for a Global EMBA? We asked the current Director of the CEIBS Global EMBA Programme Bala Ramasamy, as well as various Global EMBA class members and the alumni who referred them.

The Capstone Project is an integral part of every Global EMBA student’s learning journey during their time as CEIBS. It requires them to bring together everything they’ve learned so far during the programme, while contributing their own unique abilities to their chosen project team. Not only that, students must also maintain their focus, energy and motivation to drive the project forward across an entire year. With this year’s Global EMBA Capstone Projects recently concluded, we asked seven students to share their thoughts on reaching this milestone in their CEIBS studies.
