“By supporting this internationally successful Executive MBA of the WU Executive Academy (Vienna University of Economics and Business) we set a vital signal to support education and training for high potentials and executives in Romania, one of the new EU member states with strong economic growth. OMV as main shareholder of Petrom supports the development in Romania; certainly regarding economical aspects but also regarding surrounding factors such as education. Additionally to our increasing investments in training and development of Petrom employees we see a significant need to educate high potentials and executives especially as foreign investors want to use increasingly Romanian high-level personnel. The WU Executive Academy is an excellent partner to support high-level personnel development in global management competency, which will strengthen the local economy on a long term basis.”

“My 14 months at REMBA were really special and have shaped me into a better professional. This is an MBA for top executives that goes beyond theory deep into the very practical aspects of the job, which I found very useful. It’s not another high-ranked diploma on my wall, but rather a wealth of knowledge that I can actually apply in the business world. I enjoyed the teachers’ practical teaching method, focused on real-life scenarios and case studies, as well as the integration of the lecture with current events. The learning was extremely valuable and offered me a full perspective on what successful businesses entail. The REMBA provided me with the knowledge, and tools for me to be a better manager and leader, and enabled me to have a broader vision of the global marketplace. Last but not least, it gave me an opportunity to interact, exchange ideas and learn from some of the brightest minds and best professionals in Romania, my classmates. I highly recommend this program, which is by far the best one in Romania, if not the region.”

“The WU Executive MBA program offered by the WU Executive Academy in Bucharest is the most intense learning experience I have ever encountered. Beyond the academic perspective, it is the quality of the people – professors, specialists and students – that turns this EMBA into a success story. I feel much better equipped for what lies ahead in my professional life, thus urging me to reassess my objectives and set new priorities. The true challenge will be to apply this knowledge in the future and make the difference.”
