Executive Certificate(s):
For several years, Maxim Sokolov has worked for Corning Incorporated with a focus on computer modeling for Corning products and technological processes. His work involves a great deal of physics, software development, and math. Maxim realized that modeling is not only about physics; it could also be used to simulate and optimize business processes, which would become more and more important in a global competitive environment. Maxim chose MIT Sloan Executive Education to bridge the gap between his technology background and management interests.
“The programs in my executive certificate track helped me to clearly understand business processes from supply chain to finance and marketing. The system dynamics program provided an excellent overview of how to consider all the different business aspects together as a single system. The MIT faculty was amazing. The professors not only managed to keep the entire class's attention, they infected participants with their passion for their subjects.”
