“Leadership today is not just about delivering results—it’s about being seen, heard, and trusted in the digital world.”

I came to the realization that my technical know-how and strategic leadership were insufficient in a business environment that was changing quickly. The world was changing; operational performance was no longer as important as thought leadership, personal branding, and digital presence.

At that point, I decided to enroll in IMET Worldwide to pursue a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA) in Digital Transformation.

What came next was a life-changing experience that not only improved my knowledge but also reshaped my leadership voice, professional identity, and visibility.

Why I Chose the Doctorate Path

For years, I had led complex digital initiatives, driven change, and empowered teams. But I often felt my contributions were underrepresented in the larger executive narrative.

Enrolling in the DBA program at IMET was my way of reclaiming that narrative—of building a credible, future-ready leadership brand backed by research, innovation, and insight.

Here’s what the doctorate journey helped me unlock:

  • A deep understanding of digital transformation frameworks and strategies
  • The ability to connect academic knowledge with practical enterprise challenges
  • Skills to research, publish, and present high-impact ideas in business and tech forums
  • A structured path to evolve from a contributor to a recognized thought leader

From Doctorate to Digital Identity

My doctoral completion served as a turning point in both my professional and personal branding.

This is how it improved my visibility: 

  • With carefully chosen content and insights, I developed a powerful executive digital footprint.
  • I received industry recognition for my published work on leadership in digital transformation. I received invitations to participate in industry advisory boards, webinars, and panels 
  • My updated portfolio, personal website, and LinkedIn profile all demonstrated my growing expertise 
  • I was no longer viewed as merely a practitioner in the field of digital transformation, but rather as a strategic voice.

To put it briefly, I became more impactful, credible, and discoverable.
