Meet our partners
We were so incredibly grateful to be a part of this program. I have to admit I’m a little sad that it’s over. This program has been immensely helpful— including in unexpected ways.
MBA cohort member
I came into the program really burned out and wanted to exit my previous career but I felt like couldn’t make the jump. Being accepted into this program was the catalyst for me to leave ASAP. It’s been the best thing for me and for my family.
