Sofiane Khatib
IPS Class of 2005


"My experience in the IPS program allowed direct access to some of the best faculty worldwide as well as top policy makers from key international organizations, the United States, and other countries. This, along with the program's strong focus on methods and policy analysis, allowed me to gain a good understanding of how critical policy decisions are taken and implemented. My time at Stanford has proven invaluable to me in my current position as Associate Director of the Middle East Team at the World Economic Forum."
