They Said It...

On the program...

Robinson Dean H. Fenwick Huss: "This is the most comprehensive approach to executive leadership available anywhere in the world. Robinson is proud to work with Lomonosov Moscow State and be a trailblazer in providing a multi-faceted approach to executive leadership training."

Moscow State Rector Viktor A. Sadovnichy:   "This partnership between two premier institutions will transform business education in Russia."

Vladimir Echenique, vice-dean of Moscow State's Faculty of Economics and co-director of the Executive Leaders program:  "Lomonosov Moscow State University has long been the premier institution of higher education in Russia. The announcement of this new agreement with Georgia State extends the legacy of the university by adding a totally new dimension to our offerings."

On why the time is right for Executive Leaders...

Jim Senn, Managing Director of Robinson's Center for Global Business Leadership and co-director of the Executive Leaders program:  "As Russian companies have expanded, they have experienced a distinct need for executive-level talent. The unique Robinson Lomonosov Moscow State program will fill a much-needed demand for practical information on effective leadership and provide a quality of education never before available in Russia."

Kirill Nikitin, a partner in the Tax Services Division of PriceWaterhouseCoopers in Moscow:  "There is really nowhere a student can go in Moscow to obtain a first-rate Executive MBA. Some students have gone to the University of Chicago program in London. Some go to INSEAD in Paris, but in both cases, students have to fly to get there. There are few programs locally, but nothing that compares with what Georgia State and Moscow State are planning to do."

Albert Davleyev, a strategic marketing consultant in Moscow:  "Russians now want something that differentiates them from those who have MBA degrees. The EMBA will give them leadership education, something they cannot find anywhere else. Fortune 500 companies are becoming big in Russia, and they need good professionals, good leaders."
