Manager- Korea Tourism
Sophia is a true management professional with whom most corporate organizations feel proud to be connected to achieve business objectives and ROIs. A referral from another multinational organization led us to this visionary leader on a project for brand positioning and marketing. It all started with a couple of meetings followed by staff trainings, seminars, product development and eventually, it was a business breakthrough. For us, this led to year on year growth and expansion plans. Connecting with these stalwarts has given us a smooth take off with targeted objectives, set long term goals and achieve incredible results overall.

Natalie
MBA Director- University of Bradford, UK.
Sophia was an excellent student on our Distance Learning MBA programme. She is extremely motivated, and brought strategic insight to the assignments. In particular, I would like to commend her Management Project, which is the final piece of work on the course which requires an in-depth investigation into a strategic issue. Sophia's project looked at the impact of COVID-19 on the tourism industry and was a detailed and thorough analysis of this significant challenge which is the industry is facing. Throughout, she drew on theories from the course in order to apply them to this contemporary scenario, enabling her to establish clear recommendations as to how the industry can meet the challenge and continue to develop in the future. Sophia has been an exemplary student, and her business acumen and insight will undoubtedly be a great asset to future employers.
