Wendy Ledesma
“The executive MBA offered me the flexibility and specialty I desired at this stage of my career. The flexibility of the hybrid program worked with my work/life balance. Having other industry leaders in my cohort was attractive to me—I’m really enjoying learning from other experts in their fields.”
Wendy Ledesma (MBA ’26)
Chief Medical Officer – Patient Safety & Quality, Sauk Prairie Healthcare
Elsa Jacobson
“Because the MBA team environment doesn’t have hierarchy the way a workplace does, it manufactures an environment that forces better compromise and collaboration. The flexibility it takes to succeed in a business school team is a valuable skill that I’m working hard to apply at work too. Through our coursework, I’ve thought a lot about how I show up at work and how I lead.”
Elsa Jacobson (MBA ’20)
Senior Director, UW Health
Kristine Zickuhr
“Being on a team helps. You can help each other. One person might be particularly strong in economics for instance. They can help guide an econ-focused project. We all have our strengths, and I think it works well as a team cohort.”
Kristine Zickuhr (MBA ’22)
Assistant Director for Administration at Chazen Museum of Art
