Ryf, Krister, Tapan and Ankit |
Meet, Krister Häll, our friend from Finland and another member of the 2013,
MBA 37 class. Kris has been a terrific student this year, consistently upbeat, all-in for fun, and a gentleman in the truest sense of the word, with the ability to positively influence those around him. He and his
Live Case partners, for instance, chose to designate a shy/quiet syndicate member as their team leader, someone who lacked confidence and could best benefit from the experience. He engineered a learning experience and then supported her in producing a successful outcome: their syndicate won the
best case award.
Kris came to our programme with almost ten years of experience as an investment and risk
analyst in the Finnish banking sector, including managing teams, analyzing risk
positions and formulating hedging strategies.
He chose the Otago MBA to broaden his understanding of international business and deepen his grounding
in economics and finance. Kris performed well in our phase one core courses, demonstrating exceptional quantitative
and leadership abilities: he was voted Top MBA of the Year by his peers.
Kris will complete his Otago MBA degree through an international exchange at Duke
University, to further specialize his education in finance and decision making,
beginning in January. He hopes to complete his BUSI 540 consulting project with a U.S. financial services company,
either conducting research related to product/service development or process
improvement. We at the Otago MBA will continue to support Krister in his effort to pursue his career in either the European or U.S. financial services
industry.
If you want to chart a similar path through life,
David
