Victoria Thanoukos-Milson did a tremendous amount of research on MBA programs before applyting. Questrom stood out immediately, not just because of its reputation, but because of how the OMBA program was intentionally designed for working leaders with a global perspective.

“The global footprint was a major decision point for me,” Victoria says. “I wanted exposure to how different cultures think about leadership, economics, technology, and organizational behavior. I wanted to learn alongside people from every background, in different industries, and in different parts of the world. Expanding my network globally wasn’t just appealing, it felt essential for who I’m becoming as a leader.”

The program hasn’t disappointed. Victoria says the curriculum, the faculty, and the community all reinforce that she made the right choice.

As a seasoned luxury marketing leader with over 15 years of experience, Victoria had an ambitious goal—to grow into a senior executive role and eventually up to the C-Suite. To accomplish this she knew she needed to build her confidence, strengthen her strategic decision-making, deepen her financial and economic fluency, and refine how she operates at an organizational level. The OMBA program is already helping her achieve these goals, while also making a noticeable impact on her current job.

“Every module gave me frameworks, language, and clarity that I immediately applied at work,” she says. “I’m seeing a tangible shift in how I analyze problems, communicate decisions, and guide my team. OMBA hasn’t just pushed me to grow, it’s helped me become more fully myself, both personally and professionally.”

As for her overall OMBA experience, Victoria says it was the community that surprised her the most, in the best possible way.

“You expect a strong program, but you don’t always expect to feel genuinely connected in an online format. OMBA exceeded that. The level of support, kindness, and engagement from my peers and faculty members was rare. I’ve built friendships across industries and countries, and the collaborative energy was unlike anything I expected from a virtual environment,” says Victoria, who regularly connects with classmates and alumni who are generous, supportive, and genuinely invested in her success.

“Questrom’s OMBA is one of the most rigorous, modern, and relevant programs I’ve ever encountered,” she adds. “It’s built intentionally for working professionals, but it never compromises on depth, academic quality, or real-world application. You learn concepts you can use immediately, you grow in ways that touch every area of your life, and you gain a global network that truly stays with you.”

If someone wants to elevate their career, broaden their worldview, strengthen their leadership, and join a community that genuinely lifts one another up, Victoria says Questrom is the place to do it.
