“After working as technical person (geologist and engineer) for fifteen years, I was moved to a management role where I had to learn management skills at very fast pace. With my new responsibilities it was very hard to pursue an MBA program. One of my colleagues suggested that I look into MIT Sloan Executive Certificates. The program content, use of real-world examples, and faculty were excellent. The programs have helped me in advancing my management career in a rapidly changing global organization.”
