GMBA Director's Message: Expand Your Global Horizons to Asia Pacific and Beyond



Dear Global MBA Students and Esteemed Alumni,

 

I am both honored and thrilled to introduce myself as the new Director of the GMBA program at NTU. Stepping into this role is a moment of great pride for me, and I am deeply committed to building on the program’s legacy of excellence, innovation, and leadership.

 

I am currently Distinguished Professor of International Business at the Department of International Business, NTU. My research and teaching interests focuses on the intersection between international business and international marketing strategies. Specifically, my research looks into how disruptive technology such as AI, digital platform, Industry 4.0 etc. shape firms' international business and international marketing strategies such as market entry, entrepreneurship growth and global supply chains.

Our GMBA program is renowned for its rigorous curriculum, diverse cohort, and the unique global perspectives it offers. It has empowered students who are making significant impacts across industries and continents. As I take on this new responsibility, I am inspired by the achievements of our alumni and the potential I see in each of our current students.

 

To our students, I want you to know that you are at the center of our mission. Your aspirations, ideas, and drive are what make our program vibrant and dynamic. My commitment to you is to ensure that the GMBA continues to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and experiences necessary to navigate and lead in an increasingly complex and interconnected world. Together, we will explore new opportunities, challenge conventional thinking, and push the boundaries of what is possible in business and beyond.

 

To our alumni, your success stories are a testament to the power of a GMBA education. You have demonstrated what it means to be a global leader, and your journeys continue to inspire our entire community. I am dedicated to fostering a strong and active alumni network, one where we can continue to learn from each other, collaborate, and support the next generation of leaders.

 

As we move forward, I am excited to explore new ways to support our program, including expanding our global partnerships and creating more opportunities for experiential learning. My vision is to ensure that our GMBA program remains at the forefront of global business education, preparing you to meet the challenges and opportunities of tomorrow with confidence and purpose.

I am eager to embark on this journey with you, and I look forward to meeting each of you in the coming months. Together, we will continue to uphold and advance the values and excellence that define our GMBA program.


With warm regards,

 

Bryan Jean

Director, Global MBA Program
