Darla Moore School of Business

  • I AM LEADING THE NEXT GENERATION   Marcelo, Division Director, Vascular and Interventional Radiology   "It was an intense and extraordinary journey. I learned a lot and met outstanding people. During the pandemic, my MBA taught me to see opportunities in times of crisis. The soft skills learned during the MBA have helped me to unite people behind a vision, empower people to succeed, negotiate in a time of constrained resources and have a strategic and compelling evidence-based, data-driven vision that we could be successful in despite all the odds."
