Welcome to the Executive MBA 2020-22 class!

The new Executive MBA 2020-22 class started their Immersion week today, taking the first steps into the next two years of their lives!
Both the deans of Católica-Lisbon, Prof. Filipe Santos, and Nova SBE, Prof. Daniel Traça, as well as the Coordination Council of The Lisbon MBA, Executive Director Maria José Amich and Academic Directors João Borges de Assunção and Paulo Soares de Pinho, welcomed the students at the Nova Campus in Carcavelos.
After the welcoming session, a tour of the campus and lunch, the class had a talk with Susana Quintana Plaza, COO at Galp, who inspired the students with her personal career journey.
The day ended on a high note – under the theme of “The power of relationship intelligence”, Lorraine Steele, member of the Leadership Stream team and executive coach and facilitator who specializes in global leadership development, led the class in their first group activity.
