Arturo Gomez Gamez, MSD 2004
Financial Analyst

Why did I select the MSD Program?
As a businessperson with a background in economics and finance, I always felt that numbers alone would not win consumers. The MSD Program made me think out of the box, and created the necessary understanding of consumer values and how to be different from your competitors.

What was the most significant learning experience in the MSD Program?
The most significant learning as well as the most challenging experience was to create a design that fulfilled all the necessities and desires of the consumer. For me, living and feeling those necessities was the only way to create a design that your consumers will desire.

How did earning the MSD assist me in my present position?
The MSD Program taught me new ways of thinking and a wider vision of the business world. It allows you to be one step ahead of your colleagues.
