Would You Join the MBA Enterprise Corps? main image
TopMBA.com talks to Elias Badui about volunteering with the MBA Enterprise Corps and asks whether he would recommend it to other students.
Mexican national Elias Badui decided to volunteer through the MBA Enterprise Corps in order to assist his fellow countrymen, and gain a greater understanding of economic development in order to advance his career.
In this first post I would like to answer a question I have been getting a lot: Would you recommend joining the MBA Enterprise Corps?
The answer is a solid Yes. And here’s why.
First, if you are interested in promoting economic development, in international management, or in consulting, this is an invaluable opportunity to learn some of the specifics. You will learn, right from the source, why some solutions that seemed obvious to you haven’t been implemented and what is needed for them to be successfully employed. It also widens your perspective and understanding on how to do business with or in a different culture. And I believe the most important part is that you will learn to implement your recommendations, not only deliver a high level strategic plan.
On the other hand, even if you are not looking for any of those positions, you will still receive a year-long crash course on your recently earned MBA. This program is designed to help communities in need and the answer is usually a comprehensive approach to business that focuses on the double or even triple line. This will help you merge and assimilate your previous experience and your newly acquired skills in a way no classroom can.
Plus, you get to spend a year in a way you probably never will again. So yes, regardless of your future plans, I fully recommend joining this CDS volunteer program.
About Elias
I was born in Mexico City, where I have lived almost my entire life. During my teenage years, I volunteered to assist marginalized communities in one of the poorest regions of the country. Parallel to this, I tutored younger high school children in maths and chemistry and taught underprivileged children and adults how to read and write.
I studied Hotel Management at CESSA University, which led me to join Fuad’s Restaurant, a Lebanese restaurant chain, where I supervised all the units. Afterwards, I did a consulting project for E:de, a brand management agency. When I finished it, I joined Circus Marketing, Mexico’s top advertising agency, as their administrative manager.
In 2008, I got married and left Mexico to pursue my MBA at Boston University and concentrated in finance, entrepreneurship, and strategy. During my internship at Ixe Bank, I was in charge of creating the Customer Experience department. Soon after, I learned about the MBA Enterprise Corps and applied right away.
I am a huge fan of Martial Arts, science fiction, and video games. I am also very interested in technology, gastronomy, and history. I believe and encourage the exchange of information and love to participate in it.
