WElcomE

Leading global organizations has become more complex in today’s uncertain environment. The interaction of political, financial and strategic factors in business is more intense than ever. Specifically, decision making at a global enterprise requires a level of financial understanding and strategic thinking that goes beyond what senior executives can learn on the job.

To address this, NYu Stern School of Business and IeSe Business School have created a senior-level, international program to develop the business thinking that includes finance and strategy in a way needed by leaders of global organizations to create sustainable success across borders.

Global Finance and Strategy for Senior executives centers on modules held in three diverse global locations: Barcelona (at IeSe Business School), New York City (at NYu Stern School of Business) and Shanghai. This multi-modular format gives C-suite and senior executive participants an unparalleled global learning experience, as well as the opportunity to network with peers from around the globe. essential areas covered during the program include global finance, strategic thinking, strategy execution, globalization and financial markets, and strategic leadership. Participants will leave the program with the latest knowledge and skills in finance and strategy, and on how they can help make their firms more successful.

We invite you to explore the program details in this brochure and learn more about Global Finance and Strategy for Senior executives. We hope you will join this unique program.

Best regards,
