Tatiana Filippova

Tatiana Filippova is not afraid of taking risks. Being the first Kyrgyzstan national to study at TRIUM makes Tatiana proud to represent her country. With over twenty years of diverse experience in finance, corporate governance, audit, risk, and management, most individuals would feel quite accomplished and content in their careers. This was not the case for Tatiana, who continuously seeks new challenges. In 2010, she decided to attend TRIUM.

At the time, she was a member of the Executive Board of Sekerbank T.A.S, which was ranked third among Turkey’s privately owned banks in terms of geographical coverage in Turkey. Despite her professional achievements, she still felt the need to challenge herself and grow. Tatiana’s limitless desire and determination made applying to TRIUM a natural career progression.

When looking at Executive MBA programs, Tatiana was attracted to TRIUM’s diverse student body, renowned global faculty from three premier universities, and the “world-wide” network of alumni, and, not to mention, its top ranking.

Post TRIUM, Tatiana says she experienced what most graduates refer to as the ‘TRIUM effect.’

I had been changed, but the environment that you go back to has not. I had a lot of ideas and the biggest question I had was, what now? What would I like to do next?

One year after graduation, she decided to nourish her desire to explore more entrepreneurial endeavours and embrace the ‘TRIUM effect’ head on. In order to do this, she took on a new role as a business consultant to the Board of Directors at Sekerbank, which gave her more flexibility to explore entrepreneurial opportunities.
