Testimonials_

I found the MBA a very enriching experience, not only because of what we did with our colleagues and what we learned from them, due to their different professional backgrounds, but also because of the teachers, their experience and the theories they studied. One of the most important things for me was, in fact, the subjects we did, such as Marketing, Finance, and I was able to delve into them even more, as I was already working with them a bit. I especially liked the final part, when we had the chance to go to London and spend more time with our colleagues, and the teachers were fantastic, and we learned a lot during that week, which obviously helped us to deepen our relationships. I would absolutely recommend it to those who like it and who have a profile, because it depends on each one of us, but for me it was a good fit. I'm a person who likes to study, likes to evolve, likes to grow and, for those who like to do so, the Executive MBA is undoubtedly the right choice.
Bruno Jacinto
Bruno Jacinto Global IT MES Senior Program Manager at Ferring Pharmaceuticals
My motivation for coming to Iscte Executive Education's EMBA was to increase my knowledge in the area of Organizational Management, in the Financial area, which was something I had no knowledge of, as I come from a technical area, an IT area. My professional experience has been greatly enhanced, and my experience with my colleagues in management and senior management has been very enriching. I consider it to have been a totally rewarding and fulfilling journey.
Fernando Vicente
Fernando Vicente Head of Projects Development and Innovation, SIBS Multicert
It was an incredible experience, not only because I had the opportunity to listen to some professors who have impressive experience and knowledge of the MBA areas, but also because of the colleagues, the sharing, the networking that takes place, the interaction, the team spirit - it really is a fantastic experience that I would advise everyone to do. It's very difficult, very hard work, but in the end it's a reward, a very good achievement, both professionally and personally, because there's a great enrichment of our knowledge, but also of contact with other people. It's fantastic and I really recommend it.
Cristina Fialho
Cristina Fialho Head of Medical Affairs Oncology at Janssen Pharmaceutical
I did the Executive MBA from 2013 to 2015 and the impact was notable, because at the time I did it, I was in government, as deputy to the Minister of Solidarity and Social Security. And that moment happened in an attempt to change, in a search for a career change back to the private sector. That's why I finished my MBA just as I finished my term in government. And I'm sure that Iscte Executive Education and the MBA helped me find and seize the opportunity I have today.
João Maria Condeixa
João Maria Condeixa External Affairs Director Lead and Board Member at Janssen Portugal
Enrolling in the Executive MBA, which I recently completed, allowed me to embark in an 18-month learning adventure that exceeded my expectations both at a personal and professional level. Being able to analyze challenges in a broader way, taking into consideration perspectives, strategies and relations in an holistic and methodical approach, as well as the self-knowledge and self-reflection moments throughout the program, allowed me to work on my own personal profile and were a crucial point to achieve a stronger, more confident and consistent positioning. I am 100% sure that this was the right step in my personal and professional development. I strongly recommend this Executive MBA!
André Loureiro
André Loureiro Project and Construction Submanager at EDP Global Solutions
I have a feeling that my life will never be the same. The Executive MBA allowed me to develop fundamental concepts in management and leadership, and its broad contents have been essential in my professional path. I acquired and renewed knowledge in very interesting fields, such as Finance, Marketing, People Management, Sustainability, among others. At a personal level, it was an outstanding experience: being able to learn along 43 other students, each with different professional backgrounds, allowed me to network and connect with several top managers at a national and international level. I believe that this experience will allow me to grow as a manager and broaden horizons in order to fulfill my professional goals, especially regarding my company's internationalization process. My life has changed completely after the Executive MBA!
Alexandra Padinha

Iscte Executive Education's Executive MBA is, clearly, a moment of self-evaluation in our lives, a moment of exposure where we put ourselves to test in the most varied fields. It stimulates a reevaluation of our professional paths, providing a new way of looking out to the world. The blending of many different people, coming from many different fields, enriches the learning process in an extraordinary way. I can say that these 18 months were filled with great excitement, completely different from previous experiences. I created a network of friends for life. It was a great experience!

The knowledge update, the strategic vision of top management, the day-to-day adequacy to new technologies and people leadership, were the most important tools that were fostered by the Executive MBA and that allowed me to evolve as a professional and sustain my career progression.

At the end of the course, after many curricular units, the challenge was overcome and the objectives were fully achieved: today I am a person with a broader vision in different fields of management, but also more resilient and prepared to face future challenges, as a result, not only of the contents provided in the Executive MBA programme, but also of the numerous group works, focused on real problems, of the coaching programme and of sharing experiences with colleagues and teachers, all with different backgrounds.
