Harvard Business School Executive Education

A powerful leadership experience extends far beyond the classroom.

For Jacques Yana Mbena, PhD, the Senior Executive Program—Africa deepened his understanding of Africa’s opportunities and challenges through the perspectives of senior leaders from across the continent. Through rigorous discussion, diverse viewpoints, and meaningful connections, he gained new ways of thinking about leadership, growth, and long-term value creation.

“The return extends far beyond the classroom. It changes the way you think, the questions you ask, and the network you carry forward.”
