Norman Azabagic
Though my interactions with Munib at AMP were limited, I found him to be an impressive individual. His strategic vision, willingness to question the 'status quo' as well as the ability to set realistic goals to achieve the strategies were second to none. Influencing senior stakeholders seems to come naturally to Munib and so does sharing his ideas with the broader team. I would consider it a privilege to work closer with Munib in the future.
J.P. Brown, M.S., M.A., Ed.S., Ed.D. Candidate
As a study abroad student at UNSW, I was fortunate to study under Professor Karavdic. His innovative teaching style, focus on contemporary issues/applications in commerce, and dedication to his student's understanding of cutting edge marketing curriculum make him a truly extraordinary instructor by any measure. Hands down, one of my best educational experiences while in graduate school.
