Give your CV the edge

Young Potential Leaders from Alliance MBS have achieved success in a range of sectors.

Dr. Basit Altaf Country Manager, Johnson & Johnson Dubai “Although I had a non-typical pre-MBA background, the YPL programme gave me the exposure to stand out and fasttrack my career. I secured a position that usually required more than double the experience I had, and I have excelled thanks to the skill set that I honed at Alliance MBS. Alongside my full-time role, I have also established myself as a successful independent consultant working with some of the biggest companies in the world.”

Abigail Blake Senior Project Manager, Insight & Data British Gas “After graduating with a Master’s degree, I returned to Alliance MBS to build on these foundations and pursue a career in management. The project work and internship helped me develop skills that are invaluable in my new role.”

Liam Wadsworth Operations Manager, Amazon “I came into the MBA with a finance background, targeting technology as my exit industry. Alliance MBS set me up for this perfectly. The Postgraduate Careers Service helped me land the perfect internship to aid the transition, and following that I secured a role on Amazon’s MBA programme before I graduated.”
