IEMB Class of 2025

VP Product Development, Hero Cycles

I joined SDA Bocconi’s EMBA as a Chief Design Officer with one doubt: Will this truly transform my career?

Today I’m VP of Product Development at Hero Cycles, managing not just product — but the P&L. Your Executive MBA isn’t just a degree. It’s your transformation toolkit.

Executive Career Curriculum

During the IEMB program, participants will be nurtured to grow their potential to become effective leaders. To enable this, several initiatives are offered to the participants to discover their strengths, overcome their limits and identify opportunities for growth. The curriculum includes a series of classroom and individual initiatives aimed at providing tools to identify strengths, analyze and leverage professional experience, and identify growth opportunities. All ECC activities are optional and complement the academic program. They are generally offered in the evening or on Saturdays to facilitate participation.

In collaboration with Michael Page India, a leading professional recruitment consultancy, offers a range of practical and soft skills workshops to complement a candidate’s transformation from a capable manager into an inspiring leader. Michael Page will also support the candidates to explore interview opportunities with companies that might become available through them and on the basis of the profile of a candidate.

IEMB and Companies

Companies are an integral part of the SDA Bocconi Master’s ecosystem, acting as partners, speakers, and sponsors, creating a learning experience closely tied to the real world. Your company may also be interested in supporting your journey through the Executive MBA program.

Opportunities for Companies

The benefits a company can gain from sponsoring participation in the IEMB are quickly evident, as the participant soon becomes a bearer of new ideas and growth impulses.

We have also designed an innovative mechanism for sponsor companies, allowing them to collaborate with the program director to define a real-world project tailored to the company’s interests, carried out by their employee-participant under the methodological guidance of a program faculty member.

Throughout the program, participants will also have numerous opportunities to immerse themselves in the world of prominent companies, through guest lectures by their managers, in addition to various activities organized by the Student Clubs.

At the end of the program, participants will have access to numerous and valuable new contacts with companies worldwide, thanks to the Alumni network.
