Duke Weekend Executive MBA Student Blog

Understanding your client’s pain points and aligning your solution with their strategic goals creates a compelling case for transformation — and demonstrates the real-world value of applying MBA lessons to drive results.

The Weekend Executive MBA program has given me the tools and network to identify and leverage opportunities.

A small percentage of Americans have served in the military, and it’s an honor and a privilege to say that I’m one of them, alongside heroes like Tim Myland and Tim Miller—two great guys with the best of intentions.

A career pivot is a big decision and takes time and investment, but it is possible!

I had little to no exposure to subjects like managerial accounting or financial management as a military officer, but I am able to learn about them now at Fuqua.

Seeing the courage of my classmates who took on new opportunities with the skills they acquired in the program inspired me to do the same.

I pursued my MBA with an ambition to grow as a strategy manager by building and expanding intelligent services around smart devices and business models.

I sought out Fuqua’s Weekend Executive MBA program because it was the best fit for where I currently am in my career.
