I like to be a driver, not a passenger, and high-quality business education gives a set of tools for steering not only the digital transformation of business but also self-transformation. I value international experience, experimentation, and learning from entrepreneurial-minded professionals with team spirit.

I truly enjoyed the world-class lecturers of diverse backgrounds from Scandinavia, Europe and the US. Each and every one of them had unique practical experiences to share with us as already experienced managers.

My 10th grade teacher of economics told me that what you study in school for 3 years will be covered in a bachelor's degree in one course. In the Executive MBA courses, I have noticed that what I learned during my bachelor studies is covered in the first two hours.
