Bringing Technology to Market

“When I enrolled in the BTM program, I wanted diverse practical input and an opportunity to challenge my traditional perspective for my work as a portfolio manager in the medtech industry to help me take our business to the next level. Due to the program’s strong emphasis on hands-on learning, I returned to my company with the knowledge and tools I had been looking for.”

Tisha Boatman, Managing Director, Siemens Healthineers, Nordics and Baltics

“It was fantastic to connect with participants from all around the world – from India, Turkey, and Poland – who work in industries related to my own. I not only enjoyed the various perspectives that this international group of people brought with them, but also the friendships and networking opportunities that I gained.”

Shawn Opatka, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Americas, Werum IT Solutions Inc.

“The BTM program is highly inspirational and hits the key issues that we as an industrial company are facing in global markets. It also gave me the innovative ideas I need to manage the market transformations and new realities we face. I was particularly happy that I could test my own ideas by talking to the expert faculty and to managers of other companies in similar industries and receive their valuable feedback.”

Dr. Robert Zarnetta, Head of Field of Business, Industrial Microscopy Solutions, Carl Zeiss Microscopy GmbH

"We all know that we have to be sensitive when dealing with people from cultures different to our own. The BTM program went a step further and showed us how to develop the cultural awareness we need to manage our business. In the three modules that took place in Germany, the United States, and China, we came to understand a lot about our peers from different parts of the world. We learned to listen to them. We shared our business experiences, thoughts, as well as concerns. We returned home as part of a diverse network of colleagues and friends with new insights on the businesses and people acting in an international environment.”
