Alumni Testimonials
“The Stanford Executive Institute provided very valuable insights into general management and leadership early in my management career. These insights gave me an important foundation that I continue to utilize, even today. By focusing on the high technology industry, the Institute provided me with very relevant and immediately useful information.”
-Ned Barnholt, Chairman Emeritus, Agilent Technologies
“We send senior leaders to the Stanford Executive Institute each year because it provides a unique multinational, multi business and cross functional environment in which the learning is enhanced and enriched by the environment itself. All Boeing’s senior leaders complete an internal Boeing leadership development program which is great, but while we bring in outstanding faculty to teach it, its completely homogeneous and insular meaning everyone who attends talks only about Boeing for two weeks. The Stanford Executive Institute provides our leaders with a vital cross industry perspective on how to play and advance in competitive international technology markets.”
-Daniel Watt, Director of Operations, Boeing
“The best training program for management and leadership I have ever attended.”
-Rowan Trollope, Vice President, Symantec
“A must for high tech executives. Tremendous interaction with world-class professors and fellow executives.”
-David Hall, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Endwave Corporation
“The single most important executive education experience I have had!”
-Cal Huntzinger, Manager Marketing and Engineering, Varian Medical Systems
