FROM OUR EMPLOYER PARTNERS
Ng Keng Ling Head of Marketing and Customer Service, OCBC Securities
Jay Thyagarajan Executive Director, Operational Evaluation & Analysis, Marina Bay Sands
Wendy Foong Head of Customer Success APJ, Business Operations Services, SAP Asia
Graduates from Nanyang MBA, with whom I have worked, are able to effectively carry out a wide spectrum of responsibilities that range from strategic to executional issues. This is a very valuable attribute, since they are able to see the big picture without overlooking the ďŹ ner details. The willingness of these graduates to 'get their hands dirty' and shift between ground-level and high-level initiatives helps them learn more quickly and garner credibility. This attitude also contributes to cultivate a positive culture within the organisation.
My experience hiring from NTU has been positive. NTU MBA hires bring to the table everything one would expect of a high-calibre MBA, as well as a keen sensitivity of Asian culture. NTU MBA students have strong ďŹ nancial acumen and are willing to switch industries and take risks. They are also ambitious in their formative years, which means they can be mentored into high-performance professionals.
NTU MBA graduates have a number o years of working experience before they begin their MBA programme. Thanks to this experience, they possess a high level of maturity and the ability to adapt to the organisation. The NTU MBA graduates that I've encountered are well equipped with the technical skills to carry out their responsibilities and show initiative and a real desire to learn. For example, a group of NTU MBA graduates suggested transforming customer information into 'living' content rather than including it as static information in a document format. The end result is an 'SAP Jam' page that has enabled the sales teams to collaborate and directly respond to customer queries.
