alexbr4 Verified User. Likes Earned: 1830 Target round 1, where you can. Numbers look good. Be good to hear more about your post MBA plans, and “why MBA”? A data science focus does sound very interesting, in combination with a pharma background.

Showing impact and growth at work, supported by strong recommendations is key. Are you also involved in activities outside of work, any additional hobbies and interests?

mredibles Likes Earned: 0 Why MBA? I would say talking about novel therapeutics from a business standpoint, I see myself in it. This has been driven by my desire to reduce the pressure on existing antimicrobial pharmacotherapy. My short- term goal is to transform into a managerial or consultant role within a multinational pharmaceutical company, where I can refine my strategic problem-solving, marketing, branding skills, and gain hands-on experience in managing global healthcare challenges. I volunteer outside of work, I volunteer for a couple of initiatives, for example I volunteer with an NGO for community service, also carry out Antimicrobial resistance awareness campaigns digitally and from the grassroots, and a digital community “Be My Eyes” for Supporting Blind and Low-Vision Individuals in Assessing and Reading out School Results, and other Documents, Identifying Colors and Reading for people with Dyslexia. If I’m not working, I’m playing or watching soccer, I love sports generally. (0)
