"My aspiration is to work for Honeywell overseas," says Angela Scott, territory trade manager for Honeywell's automation and control division. "To meet this goal, I needed to broaden my international business experience by obtaining a Global MBA from a top-tier school. However, it was important to me to continue working, which meant an executive degree was the perfect fit."After thoroughly researching local executive degree programs and surveying her mentors, Scott decided on Georgia Tech and the Global Executive MBA."Not only have I learned a lot about global business issues, but I've also made a number of contacts as a result of the international residencies," she says.
Honeywell is also seeing the immediate results of Scott's studies. "I try to focus my class projects on company issues whenever possible, so the benefits are two-fold: I'm able to apply what I learn in a real-world scenario, and Honeywell benefits instantly from the findings of my research."
After her December 2006 graduation, Scott plans to continue her international learning with her "Passport to Future Residencies," enabling her to go on future trips. "I'm excited to attend more residencies, meet new students, and expand my international network and experience," Scott says. "I'm ready to book my ticket!"
