FTMBA program helped me to apply my technical knowledge from a different angle. During the program I learned how to mix different skills to maximise my impact.

In 1994, I graduated from the philosophical and economic faculty of Al-Farabi Kazakh State University. It was a time not only of the collapse of the USSR and the transition to a market economy but also a time of new opportunities.

In all the years before enrolling in the Executive MBA program, I worked in high positions, made important decisions, and constantly engaged in self-education. However, since I did not have a specific business education, doubts arose about whether I was doing everything correctly.

My studies in EMBA confirmed that I was moving in the right direction with self-education and making the right decisions. This gave me tremendous professional confidence and maturity as a first leader, providing a foundation for further development and growth, and courage in making difficult decisions.

The FTMBA program was a key moment in my career, leading me to focus on innovation and technology. The comprehensive curriculum of the program helped me gain the necessary skills I needed to succeed in this area. One of my most cherished memories from the program is the bond I formed with my classmates. They have become more than just peers; they are lifelong friends who have provided support and inspiration throughout my professional journey. I'm grateful to GSB for these invaluable experiences and connections.

My choice of NUGSB was driven by its unique ability to equip me with a versatile skill set to succeed in a variety of roles across different industries. The rigorous curriculum, diverse faculty, global perspectives, as well as NUGSB's commitment to academic excellence and comprehensive student development have been invaluable in my career, enabling me to excel in a variety of professional capacities.
