I joined the Executive MBA at Rennes School of Business at the time I co-founded a SaaS software start-up. I was transitioning from a CTO to a CEO position with an
orchestrating role. I had the profile of a technical engineer and I lacked management and strategic development skills. The Executive MBA has enabled me to get a year ahead in operations for developing my company, thanks in particular to the course in Leadership, HR Management, Financial Strategy and above all Major Innovation, which guided me in my product development choices. It was also a great human experience with a variety of very different profiles among my fellow students.
I graduated from the Executive MBA programme at Rennes School of Business in January 2020. The learning experience was intense and challenging, as I expected. The topics covered and the teaching methods are designed to foster collaboration between international students, which I greatly appreciated. The Executive MBA has allowed me to gain a clear vision of all aspects of managing a modern and innovative company on a global scale, and this global vision is a real professional advantage these days.
