“I have friends who I met in my job ten years ago who are now in very high-ranking positions at the same company. But I have a broader experience, the confidence to tackle different roles - and the mindset of a general manager rather than a technical specialist. That came about because of the Sloan programme."

“I’ve been lucky that I’ve found growth in my career. On the Sloan, the growth is about yourself. You find out who you are, what you want and how to get it. It’s not easy because what you want is tough to get. But that knowledge makes you focus and saves you time. I stopped wondering ‘what if’ and began to act."

“It was definitely an intellectually challenging experience but the connections I had with everybody on the Sloan made it fun. I had so much support and that gave me great confidence. It allowed me to believe in myself and understand that there’s so much more I can do. Sometimes corporate life isn’t clear but I see myself today as someone with an ability to attack challenges, with a much broader perspective."

“Soon after completing the programme in 2011, I became Director of Commercial Planning and Devices at Vivo in Brazil. After a year, I took the financial reins at Apple as iPhone Controller until 2013. I’ve continued to broaden my business perspectives since then - moving to Nextel Brazil before a year as Chief Marketing Officer for FS, a leading Latin-American mobile technology company."

“I have now co-founded ADA strategy, a marketing and advertising consultancy in Sao Paulo. My experiences with the Sloan led me to deliver a much greater impact – confidently advising across a broader and more diverse field of companies and sectors.”
