At her interview with Jornal Económico, Maria José Amich, The Lisbon MBA Executive Director, presents the ambition to further develop the program not only regarding international partnerships but also focused on diversity and innovation. “The path we have to walk has huge potential. Our value proposition is unique and highly differentiating,”, she said. There is, of course, the vision to keep consolidating the institution’s position of number one in the world in International Experience (according to the Financial Times ranking).
She also highlights the richness of the program that comes from its own nature of being a joint-venture between two top-business schools in Portugal (Católica-Lisbon and Nova SBE) in collaboration with MIT Sloan in the United States, but also from several milestones achieved along its journey, like the partnerships set for the International Labs (International full-time class) and Exchange Programs (Executive class), and other features that make the program unique like the Friday Forums and the Leadership streams.
