What I take away from MSB and my experience there are the soft skills they taught us. These include the ability to present well, speak up, defend our projects, and crucially, learn to lead and be a leader by empowering our teammates to achieve their best, while also learning to be led by others.

I still remember my first presentation at MSB where I was intimidated by public speaking. By the end of my studies, public speaking and presentation became so natural, and I gained so much confidence in myself!

These skills are priceless because, in the professional world, soft skills are crucial for success and self-assertion. Today, I am the founder of NERRĀ, a US cosmetic brand launched last year, which has achieved incredible success. We've been mentioned in top magazines like Allure, Marie Claire, Elle, The Wall Street Journal, and more. Our products are used and mentioned by celebrities like Kim Kardashian and sought after by major retailers worldwide. All of this is thanks to something I lacked before MSB: discipline. Discipline in respecting deadlines, working hard to succeed, and working smart.

One of the first concepts I learned at MSB was effectiveness and efficiency. Remember these terms and listen carefully to what you're taught. Studying, being attentive in class, and preparing for quizzes, presentations or exams are not punishments but preparations for the real world and professional life. MSB is an excellent institution for preparing you for reality. Pay close attention to your professors; I had the best conversations and received the best advice from my former teachers. I still remember the case studies we had at MSB on the success stories of other brands and their strategies, some of which I replicated for NERRĀ.

So be attentive, speak up, ask many questions, and don't be intimidated. At MSB, no one will judge you because you are there to learn and make mistakes, and it is through mistakes that we learn and become ready to be among the best in the world.

My journey at the Mediterranean School of Business has been a truly transformative experience. As an international student from Bujumbura, Burundi, MSB provided me with a nurturing and dynamic environment that expanded my academic and personal horizons. Pursuing a degree in Business Management with a minor in Finance, I was fortunate to apply at our partner university, IESEG School of Management in Paris. This opportunity significantly will enrich my educational experience and global perspective. At 25, I reflect on my time at MSB with pride and gratitude. The faculty's dedication and the practical approach to teaching equipped me with essential skills for my career. Outside the classroom, my involvement in the TIMUN Club (Tunisian International Model United Nations) was particularly memorable. Participating in debates about critical issues like the Ukraine-Russia war and the Israel-Palestine conflict was an exciting and enlightening experience. It allowed me to share ideas, propose resolutions, and engage with diverse perspectives. Additionally, during my journey at MSB, I experienced some trips and was introduced to some memorial sites such as: Sousse Museum, Beja cheese industry and Medina de Avenue Bourguiba (Tunis).   

My love for the colors black and red symbolizes the strength and passion MSB has instilled in me. I am confident that the knowledge and experiences gained here have prepared me for future challenges. Thank you, MSB, for an unforgettable and enriching journey. 

I joined MSB in 2015 for a master’s degree in business management with an engineering background in computer science and after a four-year work experience. 

Little did I know back then that this decision would enable me to make the career switch that I needed. This experience has truly been lifechanging! 

The curriculum taught at MSB is very interesting and provides students with the skills they need to face the professional world, “The Jungle” as described by my Mentor Professor Chelbi. 

Moreover, the learning environment at MSB is so stimulating with a rich student life through the various clubs constantly organizing events. Different cultures also meet at MSB with foreign students and professors, which makes it an enriching environment.

After obtaining my diploma, I landed a job as a Management Consultant in a multinational consulting firm. This opportunity was brought to me through the career fair organized by MSB. I worked there for 4 years during which I could apply the knowledge acquired at MSB and gained valuable experience.

In 2023, I decided to launch my own consulting firm specialized in management consulting that I named “Operations Management Pro Consulting” after the specialization that I chose at MSB. At OM Pro, we provide companies with assistance in the management of their transformation projects (Operational, Organizational and Digital).

You can notice how MSB has been with me every step of the way.

I continue to be invited to events at MSB (Defenses, Inspirational talks, etc.) and it’s my pleasure to attend and provide my modest contribution.

Always happy and proud to be part of this community that I know I can count on!”
