Fueling lifelong leadership
In today’s global business landscape, having a strong professional network isn’t just a nice-to-have — it’s essential. And for executive leaders navigating complex business challenges and opportunities, genuine connections can be a powerful catalyst for growth throughout their careers. At Kellogg, the Executive MBA (EMBA) program is built on a team-based approach that fosters meaningful collaboration from day one.
EMBA students are immersed in a collaborative environment designed to foster deep connections throughout six campuses spanning Canada, Asia, Europe and the United States. With an average of 15 years of work experience and representing more than 20 industries and job sectors, Kellogg EMBA students bring a wealth of real-world insight to every conversation. Whether it’s through team-based learning, peer coaching or strategy sessions, EMBA students don’t just build skills — they create lifelong relationships that continue to shape their leadership journey long after graduation.
Empathy and collaboration are at the root of these lifelong connections. Students and alumni consistently describe a culture where people-first leadership is modeled and encouraged. “I’ve had the privilege of working directly with my division’s CEO, a Kellogg MBA alum. He’s an incredible leader who truly puts people first,” says Kristie Maciejewski ’26 Executive MBA. “I’ve learned so much from him, not just about leadership, but about being a good person both professionally and personally. He treats others with fairness and respect, even when making tough decisions, and ensures people feel heard, seen and valued.”
Expertise and mentorship at your fingertips
The Kellogg network isn’t just expansive — it’s engaged and dedicated. “Through Global Network Week and beyond, there’s access to a wide community of alumni who are incredibly open and generous,” shares Marcela Zetina Manrique ’26 Executive MBA. “I’ve reached out to people I’ve never met in person, and they’ve willingly given me their time. There’s a real sense of goodwill and shared commitment to helping each other grow.”
From personalized executive coaching to access to a global network of more than 70,000 alumni, Kellogg equips EMBA students with the tools to lead with confidence, empowering them to transform their careers.
