When Tugay joined the GEMBA programme at RSM, he expected to sharpen his business skills, and he has. But what he didn’t anticipate was the depth of personal growth the experience would demand.
When discussing the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, Tugay speaks candidly about his personal connection to SDG #1 – No Poverty:
“I was born and raised in the Netherlands, and that makes me privileged. But my ancestors weren’t. One grandfather was from Italy, the other from Turkey, and both grew up in poverty. I carry their legacy with me. I have a deep desire to break the cycle and help build a world where everyone has a fair chance at a better life.”
This was just one of many powerful reflections Tugay shares - including his belief in leading by creating a safe environment.

Solution based thinking as part of the MBA programmes - with Dirk Van Der Heijden (AkzoNobel)
In this podcast we dive into the collaboration between our MBA Careers team and companies such as FrieslandCampina and AkzoNobel. This particular collaboration started in 2016 with Dirk van de Heijden. At that time he was working with FrieslandCampina after which he transitioned to AkzoNobel. In this podcast we discuss several topics, such as how our MBA students are being prepared for the corporate world, what competencies our MBA students excel in due to the MBA programmes and of course the journey ahead in terms of collaborations.
‘You need solution thinking, or improvement thinking. And what I really like with RSM, and again it’s cooked into your programme, is that data-driven solution thinking across disciplines, to have an open radar. Not to be blindfolded for your tech-way of looking at things.’ Dirk van der Heijden (Head of Application Delivery at AkzoNobel)
