ESMT Bites is a series of bite-sized online lectures designed to give you an authentic preview of the ESMT classroom experience. Each session features one of our distinguished faculty members introducing a core idea from their field, sharing practical insights, and engaging participants in the kind of discussion that defines our degree programs.

Our March edition features a lecture by Zoltán Antal-Mokos, who has been professor of strategy at ESMT since 2011 and served as dean of degree programs from the same year until 2020, following his previous roles as associate dean since 2009 and director of the Executive MBA Program since 2007. Zoltán was named the MCC Professor in Strategy and appointed Director, Strategic Partnerships from May 2023. Prior to joining ESMT, Zoltán was the McKinsey & Co. Chair in Strategy at the Budapest University of Economic Sciences and Public Administration, Hungary, where he also held leadership positions as associate dean of the Faculty of Business Administration and director of the university’s graduate school of management.

Whether you are exploring an MBA or a master's degree, ESMT Bites gives you a meaningful introduction to our faculty, our academic approach, and our community.
