The knowledge I have acquired has helped me to contribute to strategic discussions that were difficult to understand before, especially for someone with a technical background. I have been able to build up a network of internationally renowned lecturers and highly talented fellow students and I am still in contact with them almost daily to exchange ideas. Having an MBA degree in Energy Management was for sure a door opener for the World Energy Council’s Future Energy Leader program.

There is no greater long-term issue facing our world today than climate change and the sustainable extraction, generation and use of energy. Understanding the nuances and developing the strategies required to ensure that our economies continue growing while securing our energy future requires specialized knowledge. The WU Energy Management MBA features classes and seminars led by world-renowned energy experts and thought-leaders, demanding courses that challenge preconceptions, multicultural classmates with diversity of thought, exceptional learning facilities in one of Europe’s leading cities and a highly stimulating international residency in the energy and technology hubs of the USA. I have been able to parlay my MBA into launching a start-up focused on sustainable energy consulting. This MBA is the best preparation any energy professional, policymaker or executive can undergo – there’s no other global MBA that offers what it does.

The MBA Energy Management program of the WU Executive Academy allows you to develop more related skills in energy and study in an environment with colleagues from the industry. With my academic background in business, and after six years of working experience in business development and marketing for Shell in Latin America, I decided it was the right time to do an MBA. WU Executive Academy is a top-tier university which has set new standards, enabling you to continue working while you attend regular lectures on short term residencies. I utilized this unique feature of the program to hold a strategy internship during the summer with Statoil UK in London. This was an excellent experience to draw upon the practical skills I developed in previous work experience and to also apply my learning from my MBA. The end of the program marks a turning point in my career. Shortly after I started as a Senior Analyst in Strategy within Statoil’s Global Strategy and Business Development Unit, based in London.

I came to the WU with almost 20 years working experience in the oil and gas business and yet was amazed as to how much more I’ve learnt about the energy business in such a short while. The MBA in Energy Management is rich in both content and structure with guest lecturers who are acclaimed practitioners in their fields. The faculty is very international, representing state-of-the-art knowledge while the diversity in student body ensures cross-cultural learning and the feeling of being at home regardless of where you come from. For me it’s been a challenging and yet an enriching experience.
