In this replay episode, we welcome Stacy Blackman Consulting's EMBA expert, Bill Chinois, to discuss all aspects of executive MBA programs, including why someone might want to consider an EMBA over a part-time or full-time program.  

Episode 14: In today's episode, host Jim Ray interviews Jorge Pazmiño, Director of Graduate and Executive Education Programs for the Rubel School of Business.  In Episode 1 of our podcast, we introduced Dr. Natasha Munshi and discussed her vision for several initiatives involving executive education.  Jorge has the responsibility for the development and implementation of some of those initiatives.  Jorge moved from Quito, Ecuador, as a bi-lingual international student to study business.  He enlisted in the US Army.  After a deployment in Iraq, he completed his undergraduate degree.  He used the GI Bill to pursue and earn his MBA and a Master's in information technology. Jorge then joined the financial services industry, but still had an interest in education and its impact on people's lives.  This inspired him to pursue his interest in a Doctoral degree in education leadership at Bellarmine University.  He is currently working toward the completion of this degree, while working at Rubel. Scholarships Recruiting for the Spring MBA and Executive MBA (EMBA) programs at Bellarmine is currently underway.  Rubel offers an early application scholarship for those who apply by November 5th, 2021.  The scholarship is $1,000 for EMBA program and $500 for the MBA program.

In this episode, I speak to Nik Shahrizal Sulaiman, a partner at PwC Malaysia about his experience in the Executive MBA (EMBA) programme at Judge Business School, University of Cambridge. Our conversation is on his motivations in undertaking the programme and how it has benefitted his growth. We also discuss how the EMBA can be different from an MBA in terms of student demography and structure. Nik holds a degree in accounting and finance from Lancaster University, and is professionally qualified in chartered accountancy, investments, risk management, and treasury. I also learned that we were in the same college at Cambridge, Hughes Hall.

When he was working on Wall Street, John Saunders (EMBA’17) discovered so much talent in his peers whose skills, he observed, were under-utilized due to their fear of a changing environment. After writing about his observations in a LinkedIn series, Saunders will publish a book titled “The Optimizer” this December. Saunders wanted to create a greater awareness and show how innovation, albeit frightening, is necessary.“I really hope to instill this same sort of passion and excitement that I have for leading change in people who read this book,” said Saunders “I hope readers discover how you can build a team of what I like to call “optimizers” or a “team of optimization” to drive meaningful change within your organization.”The book can be a tool to engage people around in specific missions and processes. When people are energized by being part of the organization, he said, that’s what will drive change. Rallying around the energy they have around their passions is what fuels ingenuity in a business. He shared that he had not intended to write a book, but after sharing his series of posts with Prashant Malaviya, senior associate dean for MBA programs and associate professor of marketing, Malaviya suggested the posts could be something larger. Saunders’ engagement at Georgetown extends past the Executive MBA (EMBA) program. He is a member of McDonough’s MBA Alumni Advisory Council (MAAC), he mentors students on Hoya Gateway, and he is a formal EMBA mentor. He attributes this passion for leadership from his time at Georgetown McDonough.“I will never forget advice I received from Bardia Kamrad, senior associate dean for executive degree programs, who helped me solidify the lessons our professors taught us during this program,” he said. “He asked us to carry the Georgetown values forward by creating opportunities for others, not just yourself.” “The Optimizer” highlights these pivotal moments during his time at Georgetown McDonough. Saunders suggests that instead of berating failures, that you celebrate and learn from them. That way innovation keeps surging forward to create new opportunities for others down the line.
