The Global EMBA programme at INSEAD offers experienced executives an intensive 14 to 17-month fast track to top business leadership roles. How can programme participants define the added value of the programme?

Each EMBA class at INSEAD has an unparalleled diversity of nationalities and business backgrounds, enabling participants to learn from each other and build a close-knit yet globally distributed network. Another unique feature is the Leadership Development Programme (LDP) which integrates throughout the EMBA group coaching 360-degree assessments and team activities, designed to develop a leadership style that is authentic to each participant, thus accelerating their career progress even further.

In this video INSEAD EMBA participants share their experience, insights and take-aways from the transformational programme:

Eleonore Dachicourt, CFA Head of Products, Asia ex-Japan, Credit Suisse

“When I think of INSEAD and of the first day I started the programme and the last day when we all graduated together, it strikes me how transformed everyone was.”

James Saoulli, CEO at Rullion

“I decided it was really time to expose myself to new ideas and be challenged by both the professors and the student body. INSEAD has reinforced an approach to life that I think is going to benefit me for many years to come.”

Maryam Haghighi, HR at General Electric

“Having 57 nationalities in one room, the diversity of the way they are thinking and expressing themselves – it was so enriching.”

Annabelle Helps, Head of Investment Execution, Westbourne Capital

“Everyone has been working for around 15 years, so you have a wealth of experience that everyone can bring to every situation.”

Gaelle Mettey, Interest rate derivative sales at HSBC

“You listen to other people who have a very different way of analysing and doing things, and this really helps open your mind.”

Harinda Katugaha, CEO and Founder of idama.lk

“I have learnt to reconstruct and deconstruct repeatedly. It is a programme that gives you so much more than an education. It exposes and probes and changes you.”

Jie Zhang, CEO and Founder of GoDigitalChina AS

“Coming to INSEAD for an EMBA programme is definitely not about the diploma! It is about the transformation.”

Every single one of the INSEAD EMBA participants change during their studies. They define the programme as inspiring, enriching, mind-opening, and life-changing. It redefines the way managers think and lead.
