Student Spotlight: Frances Ezcurra, Growing a career while pursuing the Global Online MBA
While studying for her MBA, Frances also made an important career move within the insurance and reinsurance industry, stepping into a role with responsibilities across Latin America. In this blog, she shares more about her professional background, her motivations for pursuing an MBA, her study routine and how the programme is shaping her professional and entrepreneurial ambitions.
In August 2024 you started the MSM Global Online MBA. What motivated you to pursue an MBA?
I started the MBA with the goal of continuing to grow both personally and professionally. When I applied to the programme, I was working at another company in the insurance sector, focusing mainly on the Peruvian market.
Since then, I have moved to a new role with regional responsibilities across Latin America, which has made the MBA even more valuable as it provides broader strategic and managerial perspectives that are very relevant to my current position.
Do you find yourself applying insights from the MBA in your daily work?
Yes, definitely. One of the main insights from the MBA is that it helps broaden your perspective and think in a more international and strategic way.
Through the programme, you realise that many challenges can be approached from different angles, and that there are often multiple ways to analyse and solve the same problem. This mindset has been very useful in my daily work when evaluating opportunities and making strategic decisions.
Looking ahead, what goals do you have for the future?
From a career perspective, my goal is to continue developing professionally within WTW and to keep growing in my current role.
At the same time, I would also like to build an entrepreneurial project in parallel, applying many of the ideas and frameworks I have been learning during the MBA.
