“CEU demanded a lot of self-learning, which helps me to this day in developing myself, paying attention to issues outside my immediate work, and trying to improve my actual work results. I learnt how to think big, because my program required broad thinking about the many trade-offs in the economy, and new approaches in public finance and trade. This is very important in the global business environment, where a true leader should not only do a job well, but also see the big picture always find new ways and opportunities.”
