Over half of the new Global EMBA class is international

On Monday 24 September 2018, the talented executives that make up the CBS Global Executive MBA class met for the very first time. Spirits were high as the professionals commenced forming the bonds that will last a lifetime. Half of the participants hail from outside of Denmark, flying in from countries such as the US and Oman, and all join with extensive experience.

“We are particularly pleased to be able to offer such an international learning environment in a small cohort,” says Thuli Skosana, Admissions Manager for the Global Executive MBA. “Embarking on your EMBA should be an experience that widens your perspectives and adds unique insight to your skillset, and creating the foundations for energetic classroom discussions that incorporate many different perspectives is vital.”

Participant Herdis Hallmarsdottir, a Supreme Court Attorney with Embla Legal Offices that joins the CBS Global EMBA from Iceland, concurs.

“My first impression is that the group is diverse and dynamic! As I see it, the programme will provide me with tools that will better equip me to deal with problems and find solutions. I am excited, and I look forward to getting to know the group of students and teachers and staff.”

The participants are not only a diverse group in terms of nationalities. As is custom, they also stem from vastly different sectors and backgrounds such as Pharmaceutical, NGO, Greentech, Finance and Military. Between them, the participants boast 258 years of work experience and 182 years of managerial experience. Through the coming 20 months, they will share a learning experience that will take them to London, Shanghai, Chicago and Kampala, with a learning base in Copenhagen.
