Dubai Media
Incorporated
Owner, InfografikaCity
Class of 2018
Luis was enjoying a seasoned and successful
career in the media and communications
industry. However, he knew he’d retreated into
his comfort zone, and that a skills refresh would
bring considerable benefits to him both personally
and professionally.
What did the EMBA do for you?
The EMBA forced me to get out of my comfort
zone, deal with the latest trends in global
business, apply the newest management
techniques, and continuously challenge myself.
How did it affect your network?
My network and circle of friends have had
an overhaul. It’s been refreshing to learn from
others in fields that I'm not actively involved in.
How has it impacted you professionally?
Some classes changed the way I see the world
while others further developed my knowledge
in areas I previously knew little about. It has
changed my approach to my career. Hult strikes
the right balance between my career and my
other commitments in life.

GLOBAL CAREERS REPORT 2019
“Once I had a deep
understanding of the tech,
I started to think about
how to apply it to different
industries. This is where my
startup Oilchain was born—a
blockchain and AI platform
for oil and gas. Hult has been
a game changer in my life.”
