"Prior to SAIS, I had spent five years in the management-consulting industry in Asia, working with regional and multinational enterprises.  My decision to study at SAIS was driven by a strong belief that, to be successful, business leaders need to have an intimate understanding of the economic and political environments they operate in.  No other graduate school in the world brings together such a compelling curriculum in international politics and economics.  What enhances this experience is the school's location in Washington, D.C. - SAIS students hold ringside seats for some of the most dramatic transitions currently underway in the international system."
