Let’s learn together
@ My MBA Project
What started as a journal for our MBA journey is now a collection of learnings from books, short courses, and executive education. Through this project, we want to continue sharing the joy of acquiring knowledge, and spreading it, especially to those who may not have access to it.

Executive MBA with Australian Business School of Management (AGSM) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney
I formally graduate this year (2024), and I will progressively document my experience. I will be happy to answer any questions you have.
Learning Program Highlight
Stanford LEAD Program
Stanford LEAD is a year-long online learning program taught by Stanford Graduate School of Business faculty. It provides mid- to senior-level professionals with fundamental business skills, an innovation mindset, and leadership strategies to drive change and enhance their impact.
SHORT COURSES Highlight
Harvard Business School Online
We found Harvard Business School Online courses addictive; yes, we’re maybe a little weird! These are generally 6-8 week long that allow you to learn from real-world case studies with practical tools and frameworks you can take back to your organisation. Not to mention expanding your network!
Read and review
Our latest book reviews
We think reading books is fun and essential, even when everyone else is just looking at their phones. If you have any questions, or feedback about our reviews and/or choices of books, we would love to hear from you!

Topics we write about
The Project Team
It’s a small but (very) competitive (to each other) team.
Francis Ayan
EMBA Candidate | gsb Stanford LEAD
After 19 years in the Structural Engineering industry, which took him to live and work in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, UAE, Philippines, New Zealand, and Australia, he decided to pursue his Executive MBA. This led him to launch the “My MBA Project”. Francis loves to travel and has been to over 50 countries, a passion shared with his wife. He follows a few sports religiously, including the NBA, MMA, and Boxing.
Nicola Ayan
VP, GTM Strategy | guest author
Nicola has not completed an MBA program but has taken several short Harvard Business School Online courses, which she prefers over an MBA (for now?). Her entire career has been in technology, primarily digital. She currently leads the Go-To-Market strategy for a B2B software company. Nothing motivates Nicola more than a competition with her husband, be it the number of books read, or blog posts written.
