Daniela Monroy, Director, Business Development Latin America, MBA International Business 2012, Thunderbird School of Global Management, EEUU
I chose Thunderbird because I wanted to build on the international experience I had gained during my undergraduate studies. The opportunity to learn alongside people from diverse cultures and backgrounds was simply too valuable to pass up. My experience at Thunderbird was extraordinary. I formed lasting friendships that continue to be pillars in both my personal and professional life. I developed a deep, methodical understanding of cultural intelligence and sharpened my negotiation skills, both essential in today’s global business environment. The business case discussions exposed me to a range of perspectives and became an invaluable source of learning. Before my master’s degree, I had already launched a couple of family ventures. Thunderbird gave me the tools to transform them into a specialized energy management firm that is now recognized by major companies in my country. I also served as the alumni chapter leader in Mexico for eight years, expanding my network across Latin America and beyond. Today, I am proud to lead Thunderbird’s business development efforts in Latin America. Thunderbird is not just a degree. It is a lifelong global community. And for those ready to make an impact, it is the beginning of something powerful.
