Doha: HEC Paris in Qatar, a world-leading executive education provider, recently celebrated the achievements of its 2023 Executive MBA (EMBA) and Specialized Master’s degree in Strategic Business Unit Management (SBUM) programme graduates, during a convocation ceremony organised by Qatar Foundation for its partner universities at the Qatar National Convention Centre.
A total of 78 graduates of Qatar-based programmes were honoured, with 44 being Qatari and 38 of them women. More than half of the locally based programme participants are Qatari, which demonstrates how HEC Paris is contributing to building the national talent that will help drive the QNV2030. Almost half of the graduates are women.
This reflects an important effort to develop female talent to bridge the gender gap, which is essential for supporting innovation.
Dr. Pablo Martin de Holan, Dean of HEC Paris in Qatar, congratulated the graduates and said: “Our graduates’ dedication and hard work have equipped them with valuable skills, knowledge, and networks to become better professionals, and better persons as well. Their commitment to lifelong learning will benefit not only themselves, but also their organizations and communities and we know they will use that knowledge responsibly.”
The Dean added that HEC Paris programmes aim to tackle relevant issues for national and regional growth. He added: “Their journey was fraught with disruptions, some natural and some human made. To navigate these changes, it is essential to embrace technology in the future just like they did in the recent past with the pandemic, and utilise it to help others and make a positive impact. With great responsibilities come great accountability, and we are confident our graduates will lead ethically, and will help build a better and more sustainable world for all as they are already doing in their jobs.”
All graduates will be invited to attend the June graduation ceremony at HEC Paris’ main campus in the French capital.
