People

For those who asked about why I find this experience quite unique: one of the more important aspect is the quality of the people that walk in Cambridge. The class diversity is simply incredible, people from all around the world and all kind of different industries. In no particular order, in my first week I met:

- An NBC reporter that followed and interviewed Obama during his campaign;
- A business lawyer specialized in music who among his clients has several music celebrities (suffices to say he once drove Pamela Anderson to the airport - no, he didn't give me her phone number, sorry!);
- The VP of the largest bank of Kirghiz Republic;
- An organizer of the Russian winter Olympics 2014 who works directly with the committee president.

And of course the school and the university invite speakers to share their experiences. Last week we met:
- Ernest A. Mackay, CEO of SAB Miller (one of Fortune 500, among the largest beer producers in the world).
- Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, President and CEO of Nokia (http://www.nokia.com/about-nokia/corporate-governance/group-executive-board/olli-pekka-kallasvuo), portrayed here on the right while lecturing us on the importance of change (and showing us a prototype of the new E72 - that of course he is already using! :)).

The more people you know, the more amazing stories you encounter. Most importantly, all of those people are incredibly easy going and accessible and willing to share their own experiences. The experience is there, than it's all about you.
