This is a new challenge for me however; my MBA has equipped me well with the skills I require to fulfil this role.

As I work in a marketing firm I constantly have to make strategic decisions related to all aspects of the business from leading a team to managing relationships with clients and have found that Murdoch has given me the tools that I need to effectively do so.
