Bchara\u2019s opportunities to experience Israeli life helped him realize how their culture relates to their business practices, particularly in terms of innovation and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Following this experience, Bchara decided to undertake a Global Consulting Project (GCP), in which he worked remotely for a company in Brazil in the healthcare technology sector before going onsite to present his deliverables with the rest of his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe visited hospitals because those were some of the company\u2019s major clients and met with CEOs and higher-ups,\u201d Bchara said. \u201cWe got a ton of info that wouldn\u2019t have been possible to see without going onsite. The small team nature of the project was a benefit- there was the right amount of work to go around. They were considering launching a new product, and I think we gave them a good framework to think about how to approach the market and which analyses to consider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Bchara had a great deal of prior experience working with counterparts in other countries, he was less familiar with the healthcare industry as his previous work had been in financial services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe business environment in Brazil was pretty similar to the United States, maybe more laid back compared to when I used to work in New York,\u201d Bchara said. \u201cThere was a big social aspect, like starting every meeting catching up and taking big lunch breaks. I was surprised at how similar the business is, and in some ways, the technology they were using was better that what we\u2019re doing in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, Bchara went on exchange to ESADE University in Barcelona, Spain.\u00a0 Bchara chose this location for the ability to travel around Europe, and he only returned to Darden a few weeks ago.\u00a0 He also experienced a very different academic environment from Darden because lectures at ESADE can be over three hours long, and many classes do not use the case format.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe students at ESADE were very friendly and open to new people,\u201d Bchara said. \u201cI also made friends with exchange students from other universities in the U.S. One of my favorite experiences was when a group of six of us took 10 days to travel throughout Central Eastern Europe; we visited Prague, Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest. We took trains the whole way and just had a great time.\u00a0 All of the cities in Europe were great for different things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After trying each of the global academic programs Darden offers, Bchara highly recommends that students take advantage of the diverse international experiences available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHands down do it,\u201d Bchara said. \u201cI\u2019ve visited 16 countries over the past two years in some way related to a Darden program. You may never have this opportunity again, and there are so many experiences and places you wouldn\u2019t get to see as a tourist, especially on the consulting projects. These experiences taught me not to be scared to go anywhere. Without question, I want to spend a few years overseas later in my career.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1005\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1005\" style=\"width: 4008px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1005\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2016\/04\/Lisbon-sunset.jpg\" alt=\"Photo by Dani looking out across Lisbon, Portugal. \" width=\"4008\" height=\"2729\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2016\/04\/Lisbon-sunset.jpg 4008w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2016\/04\/Lisbon-sunset-150x102.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2016\/04\/Lisbon-sunset-300x204.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2016\/04\/Lisbon-sunset-768x523.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.darden.virginia.edu\/international\/files\/2016\/04\/Lisbon-sunset-1024x697.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 4008px) 100vw, 4008px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1005\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Dani looking out across Lisbon, Portugal.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jessica Hirsch &nbsp; Darden student Dani Bchara (Class of 2016) has sampled each global academic program Darden offers as part of his desire to take advantage of international opportunities and expand his perspective.
