Theseus-EDHEC MBA - MBA Business


Derek Wishart (Canada)
Manager Special Projects, Canadian Tire Corporation
MBA Class of 1993

"The two most important things that Theseus-EDHEC helped me with were breaking out of the engineering mind-set and learning about people (organizational change management, team building, leadership). Prior to Theseus I was a software engineer and software project manager. At that time my roles and my perception of them were narrowly defined and focused on technology. Theseus helped me to see the broader business context."

Takako Kawasaki (Japan)
Senior Professional, New Product Planning, Eli Lilly KK (Japan)
MBA Class of 2001

"I did not have any IT background but I greatly enjoyed the course. I personally appreciated the diversity of the class: there were 20 nationalities and the average age was 32. It was a pleasure working with interesting, mature people and having the opportunity to exchange our knowledge and experience."


Rob Wuebker (U.S.A.)
Director, NextPage (U.S.A.)
MBA Class of 1997

"Sure, you're going to learn how to read a balance sheet, try your hand at a merger simulation, and present research and analysis on company X. But at Theseus-EDHEC, all that is just the backdrop to something more, something deeper, and something ultimately way more life-altering. Theseus-EDHEC is wild, sometimes confusing, often disconcerting. It's as much a business event as an MBA."

 

Ziv Navoth (Israel)
C.E.O., Verve! (U.K.)
MBA Class of 1997

"The degree that Theseus-EDHEC offers will not turn you into a technologist. It will turn you into someone who feels comfortable managing in an increasingly technology-driven world. As such, you will be prepared to tackle any job that other schools would prepare you for... and much better."

Alumni: a supportive worldwide network

The alumni constitute an invaluable resource for advice, support and assistance both during the MBA programme and in your post-MBA professional activity.

MBA Class of 1997

"The things I most appreciated about the Theseus-EDHEC MBA were the resolutely international focus, the opportunity to get a solid grounding in business administration... and the high calibre of the other participants."

 

mba businessLaurent Londeix (France)

Director, ISE Research Lab France Telecom R&D
MBA Class of 1993

"I really appreciated the mix of sharp technology and business vision brought by the institute, the value of inter-cultural and inter-professional exchanges between the students and the quality and level of the visiting professors. I believe it allowed me to look at business issues with a broader view taking into account not only the basic financial and technical components but also the ones related to strategy, organizations and market changes. It was the required complement to my initial Telecommunication Engineering education to be able to move to management positions in companies where innovation and change management in both technology and processes are keys to success."

mba businessLeandro Testa (Switzerland)

President, LAT Venture Management, Switzerland
MBA Class of 1996

"Prior to coming to Theseus-EDHEC, I was focusing on a rather narrow career in finance. The MBA experience gave me a much broader view of entrepreneurship, enabling me to see the big picture. In essence, The MBA has provided me with the fundamentals to master my craft. Theseus-EDHEC lit the entrepreneurial fire in me, enabling me to become what I am today. Last, but not least, the year I spent on the MBA was a lot of fun and was a time when I built some long-lasting friendships."

 

mba businessWendy Darby (U.K.)

Asia Regional Director, Ipas
MBA Class of 2000

"The intensive exposure to crosscultural approaches to work provided ample opportunities to build on my experiences. The Theseus-EDHEC MBA provided the stepping stone to obtaining a Senior Management position within an international organization."
