Pursuing the Executive MBA with the University of Newcastle, Australia, at PSB Academy in Singapore has been an incredibly rewarding and transformative experience. The programme’s practical, real-world approach—combined with strategic insights from experienced lecturers—has deepened my leadership, innovation, and problem-solving capabilities, particularly in addressing supply chain disruptions, product innovation hurdles, and evolving consumer trends. These are skills I have been able to apply directly to my role.

One of the most valuable aspects of this journey has been the opportunity to collaborate with a diverse cohort of professionals from sectors such as pharmaceuticals, education, F&B, and finance. Learning alongside such a dynamic group brought fresh perspectives, challenged my thinking, and enriched every discussion. The shared experiences and camaraderie fostered a strong sense of community that made the learning process even more impactful.

This EMBA has reaffirmed my commitment to continuous growth and lifelong learning. It has equipped me with the tools and confidence to navigate complex challenges and lead with clarity in an evolving global business environment. I am excited to apply these lessons as I continue to grow and contribute meaningfully within my industry.
