Asel Moldakhmetova
Executive MBA, Class of August 2012
After ten years in alternative asset management specializing in investment and lifestyle needs of ultra-high-net-worth families and running the day-to-day operations of a family office, Asel decided to transition her career and broaden her perspective by enrolling in NYU Stern’s Executive MBA Program. According to Asel, the knowledge she has gained at Stern has given her the confidence to explore other career paths. Today she is developing a business strategy for a leading auction house and a marketing strategy for a major auto importer in Russia.
"The best part of the program has been the exposure to practitioners and luminaries teaching at Stern, who are very engaged in our professional lives and aspirations," says Asel, "as well as the diverse experiences of my classmates, ranging from a Julliard award-winning concert pianist to an assistant attorney general. The rest of my class is well-represented in media, technology, real estate, law, healthcare, and finance. The rigor and intensity of the program should not be underestimated. But the benefit is absolutely worth it - your life is completely transformed within the two years you are in this program."
