Our Students

  • "My MBA experience here in AV狼 helped me to piece-together my past, be resilient in the present, and look forward to my future. Not only do I feel confident in my ability to succeed in my professional career now, I feel like I have grown as a person a lot. The best part is that I am accomplishing this as a single mother working full time. I really feel like anyone can do it if I could do it. " - Lony Phitsamay, MBA Marketing Management '18
  • "The MBA for Global Innovators program at AV狼 has provided me the opportunities to strengthen my professional capabilities and grow along-side the top innovators of the Tech industry in the Bay Area. During my training, I was given a chance to work as a supply chain program manager at Google. I was able to effectively integrate what I have learned from the MBA program into my role at Google, which allowed me to quickly adapt to the challenges of the position." - Ting-Hsuan (Michelle) Chang, Taiwan, MBA for Global Innovators '20
