Entrepreneurial Masters Program Brings Together 182 Members from Around the World

This  May and June, we welcomed members from around the world to three Entrepreneurial Masters Program (EMP) cohorts at the MIT Endicott House. As one of EO’s premier executive education experiences, the three-year journey helps entrepreneurs strengthen their leadership capabilities through five core pillars: People, Strategy, Finance, Leadership, and Execution.

Focused on the theme of Execution, the program featured nine speakers covering topics such as leadership disruption, mergers and acquisitions, sales, and offboarding.
