Jorge Ayala-Cruz chose MIT Sloan Executive Education to help him fine-tune his skill set in dual roles of consultant and professor. “As a consultant, I have to think about making operational and strategic assessments and suggestions beyond a particular functional perspective. I needed an education plan that would provide me with the necessary tools to factor out this issue, to be able to tackle more complex, dynamic, and strategic business conditions. As a professor, the programs helped me to acquire valuable innovative experiences that I have used to shape my courses so that they can be stimulating and relevant to my students. This set of programs provided precisely what I was looking for.” Jorge adds, “The faculty are at the cutting edge of their specialties, and they were exceptionally committed and passionate about sharing their knowledge. I especially enjoyed the seminars offered by John Sterman, David Simchi-Levi, and Gabriel Bitran. In addition, the participants themselves provided a rich learning experience through the diverse mix of cultures, backgrounds, and expertise they represented.”
