Join us on Tuesday, April 28, from 5:00 – 6:00 pm (Barcelona Time)

In a world that feels uncertain, choosing to pause and invest in yourself is a meaningful step. At IESE, these two years can become a turning point: a time to challenge your perspective, strengthen your leadership, and build the clarity and confidence to shape what comes next.

As AI and geopolitics reshape how businesses lead, decide, and compete, at IESE you won’t just study the transformation. You’ll experience it, surrounded by peers and faculty at the forefront of global management thinking. You’ll develop a distinct edge to stay ahead and lay the foundation for a leadership career of real impact.

If you’re ready to grow, rethink what’s possible, and lead in a rapidly evolving landscape, this could be your moment—and IESE is where it begins.

We would be delighted to have you join this session featuring:

• Juvencio Maeztu (MBA-94), CEO and President of Ingka Group | IKEA, who will share his perspective on the value of pursuing an MBA, drawing on his leadership experience and close connection to IESE.

• Marc Badia (MBA-02), Deputy Dean and Professor in the Accounting and Control Department, who will moderate the conversation and contribute his perspective on how the IESE MBA can position candidates for their future careers.
