When I arrived in Canada, I decided to keep myself away from work for a little while. I feel lucky that I made the right decision in working towards and attaining an MBA at HEC Montreal—which is a great business school that I fully recommend. During my studies there, I managed to maximize my knowledge and gain on both the business side and the technology side. More importantly, I learned two things that were not very strong in my technology-oriented mind originally - knowing how important it is to look back (reflection) and knowing how to look ahead (strategy).

As a research analyst specialized in PLM, my future blogs will stay mainly in this area; but I also have interest in other topics. For example, recently, I just finished a consulting project on the topic of tackling climate change issues in management for a global manufacturer in the mining and metal sector—and I feel there are many things worth discussing. IT is becoming more involved in environmental issues and we need to talk more about it.
