Self introduction

Hi!

Nice to meet you! I'm Justina Hu, a current student in the Master in Management (MiM) program here at ESSEC. Before enrolling at ESSEC, I did a Dual Degree of Business Administration and Law (LLB+BBA) at the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid while part-timing as a sales associate at the luxury house Montblanc. I also studied a semester abroad at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, where I had the opportunity to intern as a Fashion PR at a startup in Shanghai for two months, focusing on event organizing and KOLs. Right before ending my bachelors, I was an intern broker at AON, where I was offered a full-time employment. After a year of working experience, I decided to come to ESSEC.

Why business and not law? Why ESSEC and Singapore? Why MiM and not SMIB or MMD? After having so many professional opportunities I still felt that I was lacking in my knowledge and I needed a dynamic but
international experience to broaden my horizon and fully understand myself better. Only understanding my needs and matching them with the current society I will be able to survive in a more and more competitive labour market. MiM was the logical choice. As a second generation Asian immigrant it is only natural to me to have the urge to come to Asia and have a look at it first hand. Singapore as the new rising business hub was the answer I needed. (Also watching Crazy Rich Asians helped a lot) Maintaining a European familiar learning mode but at a totally international environment, providing students the freedom but with enough knowledge to make the adecuate career decisions is what makes the MiM program stand out.

Do not hesitate to drop a message if you have any questions, we can discuss about the program, Singapore campus, anything you need! Can't wait to talk to you!

Master in Strategy & Management of International Business (SMIB)
Previous studies: Bachelor of Science in Aviation Business Administration,Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University & Master of Science in Management, Singapore Management University

Self introduction

Heya!

I'm Howie Chia from the Master in Strategy & Management of International Business (Corporate Strategy track) in ESSEC Asia Pacific. Prior to ESSEC I studied Aviation Business Administration at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and did my Master in Management at Singapore Management University.

My passion is in aviation and my area of interest is in marketing/branding. But if that's the case, you may ask why I chose SMIB? That's because I believe that having a good strategy is something all organisations need and it is an essential part of ensuring success. I have the desire to see the plans and ideas I come up with to completion, which is why I chose the Corporate Strategy track in SMIB as that aligns with my goals.

The SMIB is a rigorous program that pushes me to challenge my limits and surpass them. It has also further broadened my thinking by exposing me to many people of other cultures, learning from many different perspectives that I may not have considered before. These are just some of the intangible qualities that you can expect to gain when you join ESSEC.

I am always happy to answer questions and share my experiences so please do not hesitate to have a chat with me, whether you're interested in learning more about the program, the Singapore campus, about Singapore, or anything else! Talk to you soon!

Hello!

My name is Xu Jing and you can call me Alice. I'm currently studying in the Master's in Finance (MIF) program here at ESSEC Singapore. Prior to joining ESSEC, I studied Electrical and Electronic Engineering at the Nanyang Technological University and worked as a full-time technology analyst, focused on developing the in-house trade processing engine for BofA. With a strong interest in and passion for finance, I decided to make a career change by taking up a master's program to strengthen my technical skills and expand my network hence I joined ESSEC's MIF program!

I am glad that I made the right decision to join ESSEC MIF Program. MIF is a well-structured and career-oriented program. From week one, we started to join valuable workshops that are designed to prepare us for the workplace. In addition, ESSEC has quite a strong network in the industry. Some of the professors are actually industry leaders and we can get the opportunity to connect and gain insight from them. Last but not least, we can benefit a lot from our strong alumni network. Since the alumni here are
always very approachable and willing to help their juniors.

Do not hesitate to connect with me on LinkedIn and drop me a message if you have any questions. I am always willing to help out and share my experience with you!

Self introduction

Hello!

My name is Antoine Habay and I am currently pursuing the MSc in Marketing Management and Digital (MMD) at ESSEC Asia-Pacific. Before embarking on the ESSEC journey, I did my Global BBA in France at NEOMA Business School. I also had the chance to study one year abroad at Kozminski University in Warsaw which not only reinforced my desire to explore marketing but also to leave my comfort zone by working in an international environment.

My professional and volunteering experiences not only strengthened my ability to deal with uncertain events in a challenging and stimulating environment but also helped me to realize that I wish to pursue a career in digital marketing in the luxury industry. Indeed, my apprenticeship as a Product Marketing Assistant at American Express enabled me to put into practice the marketing knowledge I have gathered so far into real digital marketing projects and has reinforced my interest to pursue a career in digital marketing. Furthermore, my previous experience at Louis Vuitton as a sales advisor allowed me to become more luxury sensitive and aroused my curiosity to discover luxury marketing.

Naturally, pursuing the MMD seemed like the next step of my education because the program encompasses my strong interests for digital and luxury. Moreover, the MSc curriculum meets my expectations thanks to the diverse background of students, the academic excellence of professors, the international study trip, the boot camp and the digital marketing challenge. Lastly, studying in Singapore gives me opportunity to broaden my intellectual and professional horizons thanks to this unique multicultural environment and employment opportunities.

Feel free to drop me a message if you are interested in learning more about the MMD program and/or if you wish to know more about ESSEC, the campus life or my journey in Singapore. Looking forward to connecting with you!
