“A Doctorate isn’t just an academic badge—it’s a strategic move for personal brand elevation.”
Visibility is just as important as capability in the digital-first world of today. I had established a solid career foundation in digital transformation and IT leadership. However, I discovered that my brand did not adequately convey the breadth of my creativity, vision, and experience. I needed a game-changer that would give me a competitive advantage in the C-suite.
That’s when I chose to pursue a Doctorate of Business Administration (DBA) with a focus on Digital Transformation and Artificial Intelligence at IMET Worldwide. What followed wasn’t just a degree—it was a game-changing upgrade to my professional identity and self-branding.
Reframing Expertise Through the Doctorate Journey
I had previously worked extensively in business modernization, AI research, and technology implementation. However, I was able to make the connection between academic credibility, personal branding, and visionary leadership thanks to the IMET Worldwide DBA program.
With this Doctorate program, I was able to:
- Examine AI-driven innovation frameworks in depth
- Examine how enterprise strategies are changing as a result of digital transformation.
- Develop research-based insights that enhanced the authority, clarity, and depth of my voice.
- Establish myself as a reliable authority on issues related to AI and transformation.
This was about elevating, not just learning.
The Self-Branding Shift: From Expert to Influencer
The doctorate had an instantaneous and noteworthy effect on my professional influence and online presence.
- I started publishing articles and insights on AI & DT, reaching a global audience, and I turned my LinkedIn profile into a branding asset fit for a C-suite.
- I was invited to speak at panels, tech forums, and conferences. My study started to become more well-known in both academic and business circles
- Above all, I started drawing opportunities rather than chasing them.
Beyond simply being qualified, the title Dr. Ashith Piriyattiath came to represent leadership, vision, and change.
