Global MBA
Hello,
I'm Mia, and I am thrilled to be embarking on the Global MBA journey at ESSEC, specializing in Luxury & Finance. I'm originally from Tokyo, but have spent considerable time in the United States, a year in Brazil, and I am now based in Singapore.
My professional background is quite unique, as I've spent the past eight years working in the Anime industry. Contrary to what some may assume, I am not an anime artist; my expertise lies in marketing, media planning, advertising, and events, working with some of the world's leading Anime and Japanese entertainment properties. This role has taken me to countless countries, including Saudi Arabia, Germany, France, and Brazil, and allowed me to collaborate with mega clients such as Hasbro, Coca-Cola, Netflix, and even the Saudi government.
While I had a fulfilling and thriving career, I realized I was missing a sense of passion. This inspired me to take a bold step and transition into the luxury industry—a field I have always been passionate about. I have been impressed with ESSEC's global network, the rigorous courses and the diverse cohort and am confident that joining the Global MBA program was the right choice for this new chapter.
I understand that choosing to pursue an MBA is a major decision, and I’m happy to help in any way I can. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my journey, the program, or life in Paris.
