GMBA | From burnout to luxury brand management, an alumni story

15.2.2023

How do you know when to make a career change? Donald Kim left the tech industry to join the Global MBA at ESSEC, where he followed the Luxury Brand Management major.

After having worked across the USA in companies such as Apple and Oracle, Donald started to fall out of love with the tech industry.

“When I was 27, I knew that it was the right time for a transition. I had spent the 4 years prior to the MBA working in Tech and I wanted to pursue my passion in luxury. I knew that the MBA would help me start this transition and bring me a step closer to the luxury industry. Now, not only has the Global MBA equipped me with the knowledge to succeed in this field but I think that it has also accelerated my professional maturity regarding what to expect in my career journey and how to handle adversity and conflict in the real business world.”
