Lead and optimize the financial performance of your company
The recent financial crisis has shown how costly it can be for corporations to allow too large a knowledge gap to develop between banking professionals and finance executives. Our objective was to bridge this gap by developing a program with a strong focus on corporate finance that provides insights into how finance strategies and negotiation techniques can be used to foster competitive advantage and create shareholder value.
World-class teaching by HEC Paris faculty, including leading researchers and high level investment bankers,
Content that has been specifically designed to address the major issues encountered by senior finance professionals,
Exposure to leading finance and banking practitioners,
Access to the influential HEC Paris Alumni network.
Finance is not merely about making money. It's about achieving our deep goals and protecting the fruits of our labor. It's about stewardship and, therefore, about achieving the good society.–
