decision. There is a highly prepared and demanding faculty that, in addition to their professional

experience, together with the work carried out with colleagues, allowed me to obtain a level of deep

theoretical and practical knowledge in this new world, increasingly computerized, digital and accelerating

transformation with business impact. Another great advantage was the increase in the diversified

networking, which is very important today. Without a doubt, it was a great experience with a very

positive feedback that will help me to be better prepared for the challenges of the present and the future.
