Applying MBA learnings to the business
Two modules with real impact were Corporate Strategy and an elective in the second year, The New Strategic Landscape. The core modules on Operations Management and Principles of Marketing were both useful too, but the module with most impact was the elective on Mergers & Acquisitions. I did my Business Project on M&A, considering best practice for targeting searches for small to medium-sized businesses. It was at the time our business was looking for a target to acquire, and that worked really well.

Securing a new role while studying
I began my MBA while starting a new job, facing the challenge of balancing both commitments. Within a few months, I found my rhythm—working smarter, collaborating effectively in group projects, and leaning on my team’s strengths. Just three months into the programme, I secured a role at Sustainable Ventures, supporting climate start-ups with investment, workspace, and expert guidance. Being able to apply my MBA learnings directly to my work helped solidify my knowledge and deliver real impact. Studying part-time while working made me more disciplined and gave me the tools to accelerate my career and contribute meaningfully from day one.

From Corporate Banking to Social Enterprise Entrepreneur
I joined the Evening Executive MBA at Bayes after nine years in senior leadership roles at Accenture and Barclays Bank. But I was ready for a new challenge—one that would allow me to make a complete career pivot. One of the most impactful experiences for me was the Entrepreneurship module, which affirmed my entrepreneurial spirit and helped me explore new professional pathways. My Business Integration Project with Own New, a new-build mortgage provider, gave me hands-on experience in start-up strategy. I proposed a portfolio of new business models, based on insights from my Executive MBA, that helped Own New diversify its revenue and successfully enter the UK market. The MBA’s emphasis on innovation and disruption enabled me to evolve from a corporate executive into the leader of an innovative start-up. It was a truly transformative experience.
