Our graduates speak
IESA gave me not only the advanced management knowledge I was looking for, but also access to the economic and political context and the business relationships I needed to take my career to the next level. I can say without a doubt that my career really began when I graduated from IESA.
Ninel RavelVice President – Global Procurement Center of Excellence 
IESA has always been the best choice for business studies in Venezuela: it brings together the best faculty and students and offers cutting-edge teaching resources. I can proudly say that nothing I have done or will do professionally is unrelated to IESA, both for my time in its classrooms and for the professional experience I gained there.
Elvis ZavattiMBA graduate 
When I decided to study at IESA, I was drawn by the fact that it was a business school that trains responsible leaders. Everything we do has that dimension. At IESA I gained important knowledge, for example about impact measurement, and thanks to the IESA MBA I built a network that has been key to many of my projects.
