Global EMBA 2022

General Manager France – BALLUFF EMEA

“From career progression to strategic leadership, the Global EMBA helped me shift my perspective and operate at a completely different scale.” 

Before joining the Global Executive MBA, my career was progressing well. With an engineering background, I had built my path through sales and business development roles with increasing responsibilities. From the outside, everything looked aligned: career growth, trust from the company and strong visibility.

But internally, I felt something was missing. I realised that business decisions were becoming more complex, more strategic and more transversal. I wanted to gain perspective and structure my leadership approach rather than continue learning only through experience.

The programme allowed me to challenge my thinking alongside professionals from very different industries and cultures. That diversity was essential: it forced me to question my assumptions and develop a broader view of business challenges.

Since completing the program, the biggest change has been the scale at which I operate. I moved from focusing mainly on optimising my perimeter to thinking about global performance, long-term impact and strategic alignment. The program strengthened my confidence and legitimacy to take on broader leadership responsibilities.

NEOMA’s Global EMBA network is also extremely valuable. It is not just a LinkedIn network — it is a trusted circle where you can test ideas, share challenges and receive honest feedback.

Ultimately, the program did not change who I am. It changed my perspective and reinforced the ambition I already had. For me, it has truly been a game changer.
