Through interactions with accomplished executives from diverse industries and cultures, Katerina gained invaluable insights and perspectives that transcended the boundaries of her own expertise, broadening her horizons and deepening her understanding of the global business landscape.

As she journeyed through the program, Katerina found herself empowered by a carefully crafted curriculum designed to bridge the gap between theory and practice. From technical courses in finance and accounting to transformative modules on leadership and strategy, each lesson equipped her with the skills and knowledge needed to tackle the challenges of today's dynamic business environment.

 

But perhaps the most profound impact of the Alba Executive MBA was its ability to empower Katerina to drive real change within her organization. In the wake of the pandemic, she leveraged her newfound insights and expertise to lead her team through the storm, transforming crisis into opportunity and uncertainty into innovation. From implementing ESG initiatives to spearheading digitalization efforts, Katerina emerged as a true catalyst for change, propelling her organization toward a brighter future.
