Tune in every quarter to learn how David Simon, a 53-year-old lawyer from the US, navigates the ancient world of Oxford University in pursuit of an MBA. David is a Partner at the white shoe law firm Foley and Lardner and has dedicated his career to white-collar compliance with a heavy international focus. “My practice touches a lot on some of the sanctions and international trade issues that typically come up on international matters,” he says. In A Yank in Oxford, David and host Tom Fox will discuss what inspired his decision to pursue an Executive MBA and his hopes for where the journey may lead.
In this episode, David brings five colleagues from the Oxford Executive MBA program to reflect on their time together over the past couple of years, what they learned, and how they may use it all going forward. You will thoroughly enjoy this episode of A Yank in Oxford.
