Module 6 was a special time for me. My wife got to join me in Oxford, see what I am doing firsthand, go to our College Dinner at Nuffield College, and spend additional time after the module’s completion with some of the friends I have been privileged to make over the past nine months. It […]

Being born in USSR and being a great fan of Ayn Rand’s novels about the goodness of capitalism, “The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged”, I didn’t believe in socialism. Taking into account red tape and absence of meritocracy, I clearly realized what ‘good’ socialism can do altogether with bureaucrats in their attempt to create equal society, […]

We are always busy in our own personal-life-style-bubbles and our precious time makes us postpone those non-urgent important things. Can I do it mañana? Since I was 23, I wanted to do an MBA. Every now and then, I researched about MBA programmes and those universities offering courses. I visited a few campuses in different […]

Yoggi Berra’s words are in my mind as we wrap up Module 9 of the Oxford EMBA. There is a chance I am thinking about this phrase as I am moving to New York in seven days for a new job, and one of my classmates has done the unimaginable and scored us tickets to […]

We were in Palo Alto for the second last Entrepreneurship Finance module of our Oxford Saïd Executive MBA.

While organizing my post-Module ‘to-dos’ I ease back into the memories made during Module 6 of the Oxford Executive MBA.

I’m 10% happy that now, having completed the third last module of my Executive MBA at Oxford University, I only have four assignments to do. I’m 95% very sad, though, as the necessity of travelling to/from and being in Oxford for the past 16 months has become a habit it shall be hard to break. I […]

“Go in fear of abstractions” said Ezra Pound to the fellow poets of the early 20th century.

This month’s module had us thinking strategically with Dr. Thomas Powell and considering economic issues on a macro level with Dr. Ken Okamura.
