“When Shahin Meah joined us on completion of his Durham MBA, his overall understanding of business dynamics enabled him to settle quickly into the role of Market Planning Manager. His intuitive appreciation of the culture of a highly matrixed organisation enabled him to adapt to an environment where influencing skills are a pre-requisite to success. Shahin’s role with Emerson Process Management is extremely varied, and his MBA has equipped him with the skills to address an array of projects, ranging from the analysis and interpretation of market trends through to potential acquisitions and alliances.”
