Sumair’s journey
I have worked as an independent consultant, supporting clients on their FP&A and Corporate Finance initiatives in both the UAE and Pakistan. Previously, I have worked for PwC in Dubai and KPMG and the Royal Bank of Scotland in the UK. I am originally from Pakistan, but have lived mostly in London and Dubai.
Having previously achieved a masters degree in investment management, the obvious choice for me was an MBA. However, after researching several different programmes, I found that nothing out there matches even remotely to what is offered by the Cambridge Master of Accounting programme. I think besides the brand, faculty and format, a strong point for this programme is the curriculum, which includes, amongst other things, Interpersonal Dynamics, Change Management and Negotiations, Sustainability Disclosures and Descriptive and Predictive Analytics.
My career aspirations after completing this degree are for a leadership role in accounting and finance.
Being a part of this prestigious institution and the networking opportunities offered by the truly global cohort have brought enormous benefits to my career.
