What people are saying?
P.J., Alumni
37 years oldMy main goal was to better myself as a person overall. The IE Brown Executive MBA allows for both personal and professional development. I went into the program ready to learn as much as I could from my professors and peers alike. Inspired by the global perspectives presented throughout the program, I have since become a more well-rounded leader.
F.M., Alumni
42 years oldMy experience at IE helped prepare me for the environment, through working closely and interacting with peers from so many different countries and cultures. The cases we studied in the various leadership courses during the IMBA also provided me with theoretical knowledge that I was able to apply in my day-to-day interactions. From a business perspective, learning the ins and outs of a new industry was also demanding.
I.A., Alumni
44 years oldThe program had great diversity in terms of people’s backgrounds—from culture to nationality, to industry and functional positions across the class. This, coupled with the rich curriculum and various professors, all added layers of complexity and enrichment to the program. I was accepted into quite a few renowned local schools and would have been in class with lots of people with backgrounds similar to mine. In the Global Executive MBA there was a lot of diversity, so everyone had a different background. It showed us how diversity really can increase the productivity and performance of an organization.
