Tell us about your International Experience trip. Where did you go? What was your favorite part?
I went to China, it was the busiest 10 days of my MBA experience so far, and I truly enjoyed it. I couldn't have imagined how transformative my International Experience trip would be. We learned from business leaders across diverse and key industries like electric vehicles, AI, e-commerce, consulting, and more. Beyond all the media narratives about China, I had the chance to experience a piece of reality firsthand, including its culture, aspirations, challenges, and lessons.
My favorite experience was when we had the opportunity to meet a CEO in the e-commerce space, who shared valuable insights on how his company navigated the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and his vision for AI, including the development of AI copilots, AI-managed workflows, and autonomous agents. Finally, I toured their Network Operations Center, where we observed how global transactions are monitored in real time, an impressive display of operational sophistication.
