Students Speak

Karim El Guanaini, senior vice president, product and marketing distribution, Yas Island
MBA programme enrolled in: International Hospitality — specialising in Marketing and Innovation
“Glion is recognised as one of the top hospitality universities around the world. I hope to expand my knowledge of the current and upcoming trends within the hospitality industry, particularly when it comes to marketing and innovation, and how this relates to designing, promoting, and managing a destination.”

Amelia Libeau Dulos
Programme enrolled in: Undergraduate degree in Business Administration in Hospitality Management
“The first thing I took into account was that Glion has a more personal approach towards students. All the faculty members are very focused on each individual — they want you to grow as a person and everyone is very close, and that really helps you set some goals, because it’s very important to know what you want.”

Oliver Hick, vice president operations Accor Hotels for Gulf and Levant countries Programme enrolled in: MBA in International Hospitality and Service Industries Management
“After a career review with my human resources head office and my direct management, we discussed various career opportunities, and since Accor is associated with Glion Master of Business, the proposal to follow an online MBA was rather obvious. For me Glion in Switzerland meant a worldwide-recognised and top-ranking institution.

“The aim is to boost my academic records and enhance my credibility. In this very competitive environment, having an MBA demonstrates my serious commitment to the business, and to increasing my academic performance. I believe this will enhance my career opportunities, and let me take up more responsibilities.”

“I picked Glion because I wanted a balance between learning how to properly engage and communicate with people. I think it is so essential, because you’re always dealing with people; it’s inevitable — you can never get away from talking to someone and I think hospitality allows you to really understand and listen to what people are saying. Instead of just hearing them, you’re listening to their needs and wants, and making that possible.”
