My short-term for post MBA is to become a manager focusing on corporate finance
at a multinational corporation, thus, utilizing my analytical and financial knowledge.

In the long-term, I am motivated by the prospect that I could make use of my

consultation & training for international projects. Ultimately, I want to become an

decisions for my firm. Making the decision to pursue an MBA in the US, I believe I
will gain knowledge from Simon’s professors as well as classmates’ experience. I
am also eager to share my diverse work experience in consulting, logistics, M&A,
as well as Vietnam and Japan cultures with my future MBA fellows.
The MBA offered by Simon Business School is exactly what I am looking for. Firstly,
y
it is a top program in Finance with strong ranking (#5 Top MBA for Finance in the
World by Princeton review in 2019) which will provide systematic knowledge of
op
finance and allow me to address more complex and challenging investment and
financial issues. Secondly, after my conversation with Simon alumni Jordan Griffin
(Simon MBA, 2017-2019), I am fully convinced that the university’s world-class
tC
faculty and its rigorous, quantitative-based curriculum are the perfect fit for me. In
addition, the diverse culture and community of Simon will prepare me to be a more
well-rounded businessperson, and particularly, equip me with necessary skills to
an
become a corporate finance manager in a multinational company.

I was born and raised in small town in the mid-region of Vietnam. My father is an

problems and financial hardship. Graduated from my high school with honors, I was
