The 13th edition of EGADE Business School’s Board of Directors Executive Program culminated in a virtual certificate award ceremony for 58 executives from Guadalajara, Monterrey and Mexico City.

After this unique, high-value experience, participants were able to delve into the competencies and knowledge required to professionalize Boards and to implement the best corporate practices in the current globalized business setting, characterized by a high degree of competitive turbulence.

Juan Pablo Murra, Rector of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies at Tecnológico de Monterrey; Ignacio de la Vega, Dean of EGADE Business School and the Tec School of Business; and Carlos Serrano, academic leader of the Board of Directors Executive Program congratulated and toasted the class of 2020 during the ceremony.

Other attendees were  Raúl Montalvo, Daniel Maranto and Jaime Martínez Bowness, directors of the EGADE Business School sites in Guadalajara, Monterrey and Mexico City, respectively.

Before the session, each participant received a program closure kit containing their certificate, champagne glasses and a bottle of champagne for the toast, a lithography created especially for the occasion by Oaxacan artist Jesús Cuevas, as well as a four-course dinner prepared by international chef Miguel Sánchez Navarro, accompanied by a live broadcast of jazz music played by artist Mariana Terroba.

This year, EGADE’s Board of Directors Executive Program migrated from the face-to-face to the remote modality owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, integrating a group of participants from the School’s three sites.

The program consists of 12 modules taught in monthly 10-hour sessions over two intensive days, conferences, panels and case discussions, delivered by an expert international faculty and consolidated business leaders who are highly experienced in the strategic definition of Boards of Directors.

The program targets board members, strategic decision-makers, owners, shareholders and company directors, and boasts a model based on experiential learning, as well as practical experiences and high-level virtual networking.
