The EPFL EMBA program taught me how to think out of the box at all times and in all circumstances. It got us out of our comfort zone and proved that this is what is needed to get the best out of ourselves, and to find the most brilliant ideas. I learned how to Think Big, and think long term. The programs makes us realize that customer needs are a key and that understanding these needs can lead to unimaginable product or business innovations. The program was a wonderful trip and an exceptional experience. I recommend the program to anyone in a technology/Innovation oriented role.

Bruno Souza
IT Manager and Technology Strategist
The EPFL EMBA was an in-depth 360 review of the world of business and innovation, full of insights and surprises over a hands-on approach. The experience takes you to the next level of the executive mindset, where maximizing intellectual throughput with limited time becomes the rule. With its network rooted in the engineering background of EPFL it becomes the place to be to equip yourself for your next (ad)venture.
The EPFL EMBA program is at the forefront of innovation and management of technology. Two core components to navigate challenging times and adopt a forward-thinking attitude. It also offered me a unique opportunity to tackle a real business case and developed my leadership skills through various exposures to top-level executives around the world. I strongly recommend this program to anyone wishing to get out of his comfort zone.

Data & Analytics Manager at
The World Economic Forum
The program really opened my eyes and showed me this career path. It also gave me the idea of where to start, what to look for, how to assess the academic inventions, and what is needed to convert them into new ventures. Because of my microbiology background, I knew about a huge unmet need for fast antibiotic susceptibility testing. Thanks to the EMBA and EPFL affiliation, I found the right technology for my startup.
Danuta Cichocka
Co-Founder & CEO at Resistell
The EPFL EMBA program is designed in a way that makes the theory meet the practice. Through the various assignments, I had to reflect on specific topics from both the theory as from the reality within my professional context. With these new eyes and a 360 view over the challenges within my company, I was able to formulate recommendations to my top management to solve concrete problems with the help of technology. These recommendations now form the basis of my work.
Nicolas Szewe
Head of Business Intelligence at Lombard Odier Investment Managers
Throughout my EPFL EMBA experience I enjoyed the exposure to the diverse group of professionals and the exchange of experiences and ideas that ensued. Through the new friendship fostered I now have a core group of professionals that I rely on for career advice, and as a platform for bouncing ideas off. As a humanitarian many of the topics covered were relatively unknown in my sector, allowing me to bring change, with a polish that gives me a good chance of realizing those changes.
Chris Alagna
Program Manager at Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
The EPFL EMBA program taught me business concepts through real-world applications, blending theory and practice and linking assignments to my own company. This “hands-on” approach allowed me to implement my new business skills and knowledge immediately in my workplace. The program is definitively of tremendous value to supporting innovative activity and generating value to an organization. Moreover, it has been a life-changing experience and a disruptive journey, which took me far beyond the acquisition of new skills
