 “Today’s business and corporate environment is highly dynamic and
increasingly competitive. Therefore, growth through the acquisition of new
– particularly soft – skills is crucial in this rapidly changing world. The ESSEC
& MANNHEIM EMBA delivers these skills in the most diverse of manners,
including case studies, international residencies, and, most importantly,
peer interaction. EMBA rapidly boosted my career: after a series of
promotions, I am now a Senior Director in a big pharmaceutical company.”

“As an American living in France, opting for the ESSEC & MANNHEIM
EMBA meant choosing one of Europe’s most international programs.
In addition to receiving an internal promotion after completing
the program, this experience ended up transforming me and changed
my approach to management. I now act more like a coach who
supports my teams in their growth.”

“An Executive MBA is intense – it is a real challenge, testing your per-

sonal and professional abilities and pushing your limits. This is why doing
this Executive MBA is an experience that is well worth the challenge.
I am really impressed with how much I have learned. It has changed
my views on business and the way I look at the world. Consequently,
I have adjusted the way I work within my company. It is one of the best
experiences I have ever had.”
