Institution: Harvard Business School, USA

Course: EO: Inspiring Entrepreneurial Strategy

 

Thanks to the ILF Scholarship, I attended EO: Inspiring Entrepreneurial Strategy Program at Harvard Business School, gaining direct access to world-class faculty and a global network of business leaders. This experience provided me with practical frameworks and insights for scaling Para Bellum Solutions and managing complex growth.

The program’s lessons have helped me validate our strategic direction, refine our business model, and strengthen our approach to acquisitions and operational integration. I’ve applied these learnings to improve resource allocation, talent management, and risk mitigation across our group.

Participating in this program has equipped me with the tools and confidence to lead Para Bellum’s continuted growth as a national security enablement firm. The ILF’s support has been invaluable in accelerating both my personal development and our company success.

I am deeply grateful for the opportunity and look forward to sharing these benefits with the broader industry community.
