Testimonials


The executive Wharton experience has provided me with a rigorous curriculum, top faculty, and high standards. Today’s executive leadership must continue to develop itself to ensure it stays in best-of-class. Using systems and statistical approaches to business solutions has proven effective over the traditional construction, Ouija board method. The Pricing Strategies program faculty has exceeded my expectations with their knowledge across all silos of business — mile deep. I attended this program with my controller and found it invaluable, as we now speak a common language.”
