Leadership, innovation and entrepreneurship are three pillars of the IE Brown Executive MBA. Our most recent cohort share their experiences in the program—a joint venture between Ivy League Brown University and top-ranked IE Business School.

Congratulations to the latest graduates of the IE Brown Executive MBA

The newest alumni to enter the IE Community recently held their graduation ceremony at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. Participants of the accelerated, 15-month degree build upon their business acumen and strengthen their leadership abilities to drive innovation and impact both inside and outside the world of work. 

Beyond its academic merit, the EMBA serves as a way for participants to enhance their personal and professional lives. The program’s rigorous curriculum, focus on business and leadership, diverse cohort and immersive learning experiences contribute to its transformative impact.

Graduating from this program is a significant milestone in their professional paths, and we’re proud to introduce them as IE Brown Executive MBA alumni.

Alumni experiences: a transformative journey toward innovation in leadership

This EMBA stands out for various reasons, but one in particular is its triple accreditation by AACB, AMBA and EQUIS—a status achieved by only 1% of the world’s business schools. What’s more, the program was ranked #5 worldwide in the 2024 QS World University Rankings in the Executive MBA Joint Program category. The data speaks for itself, but we think it’s important to hear directly from our alumni about their experiences.

Nisha Singh explains that the program has equipped her with new leadership skills, broadened her perspectives, allowed her to dive into innovation and deepened her love for the entrepreneurial spirit. “More than just an academic pursuit, it has been a transformative journey that reshaped my professional and personal outlook.” Nisha goes on to explain that the program has instilled a greater understanding of the interconnectedness of global business and society. “This transformation is a testament to the profound impact that education can have on an individual’s life.”

Kavita Somwanshi describes her journey as “incredible,” noting that it was marked by “intense learning, self-discovery and growth.” She explains, “This program has pushed me beyond my comfort zone and taught me more than I could have imagined. The late nights, challenging assignments and endless readings were all worth it.”

For Keren-Or Rosner, joining the program was her dream for many years. Now that she has finally been able to achieve it, she’s gained lifelong skills. “Through the rigorous curriculum, over six time zones and immersive learning experiences, I refined my leadership skills, gained new perspectives and formed long-lasting relationships.

The IE Community: one of the myriad benefits of the IE Brown Executive MBA

The community and network that participants build as part of the IE Brown Executive MBA is unmatched, and we hope to continue to extend that network. Alum Shawn Gregoire says, “The globally diverse, kind, warm, supportive and intellectually curious community has been the blessing of a lifetime.”

Reza Breakstone, who earned the Best Academic Performance award, describes the program as “extraordinary.”

An innovative future in the business world

The transformative IE Brown Executive MBA will stay with our alumni for life, and we hope they continue to share their experiences with future candidates. We are excited to welcome the next group of change-makers ready to leave their mark.
