Hear from our Executive MBA alumni
The professors did challenge us intellectually. And I think that that has to do with the fact that they are focused on us as potential C-suite leaders.
The professors did truly challenge us intellectually. And I think that that has a lot to do with the fact that they are very specifically focused on us as potential C-suite leaders. And that, to me, was very important, because that was the tipping point I was at in my career.
Within my industry, sustainabilty, innovation, ethics, as well as AI, are becoming more and more part of our strategic pillars. It's happening at an incredibly fast pace, and all of these things were at the root of every single course…woven into the curriculum throughout all of the 18 months we spent at ESMT.
Joining the executive MBA program at ESMT Berlin was the best career decision I ever made.
I’m so grateful for the opportunity to learn from world-class faculty, peers, and leaders and to grow personally and professionally. For me, it was a life-changing experience and I highly recommend the program
