She shares her personal experience and insights into how the program has impacted her career and leadership, and herself.

Here is the kind of story we like at HEC Lausanne Executive MBA, when entrepreneurs and professionals manage to have a positive impact on their company and industry as part of their training and individual projects. That's why every year a prize is awarded to the participant who presented the most impactful Strategy Consulting Project (SCP). This year the prize was awarded to Nathalie Brandenberg who, despite her busy entrepreneurial life, was kind enough to answer our questions and share her experience.

There are several ways to evaluate the impact of an Executive MBA on one’s life. In contrast to traditional rankings, this article seeks to highlight the non-quantifiable effects of our programme on one’s career and private life. We recently shared our significant progression in the Financial Times 2022 EMBA ranking. In FT’s rating as in many others, the effects of an Executive MBA are mainly measured quantitatively (i.e. Salary Increase). When qualitative methods are used, they tend to solely focus on the professional life of the participants In contrast to these methods, our latest Alumni community event aimed to showcase all the potential benefits of an EMBA on one's life (professional and personal). Therefore, we invited three Alumni with a singular journey to gain a qualitative understanding of the programme's impact on their careers and private life. The dozens of guests in the audience were also keen to emphasise how the EMBA has made them better leaders and individuals

It has been over a year since you graduated... how do feel about the HEC Lausanne Executive MBA looking back? I keep wonderful memories about the programme and like to talk about it a lot! What I still remind myself every now and then is that what matters to move forward is not to know everything but to know how to ask the right question to the right person. I learnt so much personally and professionally, I am really grateful for this experience.
