“When I decided to enroll in an EMBA program, I did my due diligence. Given my professional aspirations, and given the fact that I have young children and a very busy personal and professional life, I had to choose not only the best program, but one that would allow me to quickly reach the career goals that I set for myself. The unique curriculum offered by the McGill-HEC Montréal EMBA program made it a clear choice for me, to help me carve out a place for myself in the world of management leaders. The program not only allowed me to broaden my horizons, it also gave me all the most innovative tools in the field of strategic management to help me support my organization and ensure its longevity and growth despite the turbulent economic environment. If there is a business decision that I will never regret, it is to have completed this program.”
