For more than 16 years, EO members’ lives and businesses have been enriched through the EO/MIT Entrepreneurial Masters Program (formerly known as "Birthing of Giants"). This three-year executive education program delivers top-notch learning from some of the best minds in business and entrepreneurial education. Here is just a sampling of how EMP has benefited EO members from around the globe:
Edwin Escobar, EO EL Salvador – EMP Class of 2008
Entrepreneurs with fast-growing businesses in search of fresh ideas and best practices can benefit greatly from the EMP experience. It is truly unique.
Sriram Bharatam, EO Hyderabad – EMP Class of 2007
The beauty of this program is in the way it is structured. Three years of continuous interaction among 60 fast-growing entrepreneurs, across industries from all over the world, is really awesome.
When I first heard about EMP, I decided I wanted to be there. Looking back, learning from EMP and my fellow buddies has taken my perspective and my company into a totally different plane. When I saw the curriculum, I thought, "Hey, this program was made with me and my needs in mind!"
I am thankful to EMP and EO. Today, I boast of having lifetime buddies from around the world. I am actively spreading the word in India and persuading both EO members and other entrepreneurs to go for it. I haven’t seen a program like this elsewhere.
Christina Harbridge-Law, EO Silicon Valley – EMP Class of 2006
One of the tribulations of being an entrepreneur and heading up a company is the narrow opportunity to be coached and called out on our weaknesses. My first year with EMP pulled back the curtain and showed this CEO what she didn't know.
The personal support I got from my friends at EMP and the help they gave me to ensure that my business kept succeeding was astounding. And the best ideas seemed to be those that caused each CEO to become reflective on his or her own opportunities to personally grow with his or her business.
My company profit jumped from 4.7 percent to 24.3 percent in the three years I was in the program— quite a leap, which led to a bidding war in the sale of my company in 2006.
