The FTMBA - Beyond the classroom - with Pascal Chabaneix and Rodrigo Quintanilla
In this episode, I speak with Pascal Chabaneix and Rodrigo Quintanilla Gonzalez (FTMBA ’26) about their Full-time MBA journey, the learning experiences that shaped them, and the unexpected moments that pushed them further than they imagined.
Before starting the program, Pascal moved to the Netherlands with his wife to settle into a new environment. “Arriving in December 2024 helped us get to know the country and the new life we were expecting,” he shares.
Rodrigo reflects on how much he has grown during the programme, especially after the Living Management Project: “You don’t realize how much you’ve been growing until you face the world.”
We also dive into one of the most memorable experiences of their year: the MBAT. With 1,800 participants from MBA programmes across Europe, the event required months of preparation.
Listen to the full conversation and their inspiring stories!

The FTMBA - Stepping out of the comfort zone - with Ritika Garg and Ashley Hsieh
In todays podcast I chat with Ritika and Ashley as they are getting closer to graduation. During their Full-time MBA experience, they have learned what leadership looks like for them on a personal level. We also discuss their motivation to do an MBA and what they were looking for when embarking on this journey. Ritika shares: “I realised I am in my comfort zone, and I need to get out of my comfort zone and try something new. This pushed me to look for other jobs and then I landed in E-commerce. I loved it. But I knew there had to be something more.” Ashley shares: “I have always been someone who needs change. I’d rather move than stand still. Every time I hit a wall in life, I asked myself “what can I change and do to get out of this situation?”
Listen to the full podcast to hear about their journey and looking forward to life after the Full-time MBA!

Diversity brings new perspectives - a GEMBA story with Arjan de Haan
Arjan de Haan joined the Global Executive MBA Class of 2026 and shares his inspiring journey so far in today’s podcast episode. As he explains, GEMBA is much more than lectures, it’s about hands-on, transformative experiences.
One moment that stood out for Arjan was an exercise on inclusion:
“You have the right information, but you’re not heard. That kind of experience stays with you. It makes you realise how important it is to step up and ensure everyone feels included.”
Listen to the full interview to hear more about Arjan’s personal and professional growth as well as his advice for future leaders.
