About the Program
Executive MBA (EMBA)
The Swiss Executive MBA is a 12-month, weekend-based program for experienced professionals aiming for strategic leadership and C-suite roles – with flexible start dates, a non-term format, virtual live classes and an Executive Consulting Project capstone.
The Executive MBA targets seasoned professionals, senior managers, functional leaders, entrepreneurs, and high-potential executives, who need the strategic tools to lead at scale. It fast-tracks strategic thinking, financial acumen, and leadership while deepening expertise in marketing, operations, digital transformation, and talent development. Participants pursue an EMBA to accelerate promotion, broaden cross-functional influence, and convert complex challenges into measurable value.
Aligned with the curriculum, graduates will craft competitive strategies, uphold ethical governance, make data-driven financial and economic decisions, design customer-centric marketing and efficient supply chains, and lead digital innovation and organizational change. The Executive Consulting Project capstone synthesizes learning into a real-world solution, leaving each participant with a tangible portfolio of impact and a collaborative peer network. Graduates typically move into senior leadership or C-suite roles, lead major strategic initiatives, launch or scale ventures, or transition into high-impact consulting and board positions.
