Jennifer Bonestroo, Assistant Vice President
Sun Trust Bank - EMBA, 2001

Mark McHugh, President and CEO
Gatorland - EMBA, 1998

"The entire program was an incredible experience. The foundation of leadership, accounting, finance, marketing, and economics greatly improved my ability, and confidence to lead a company. Since graduation, my company has experienced annual revenue growth rates over 20%, while net profits have grown annually at rates exceeding 75%. This is even more impressive when you realize that both parameters had been declining for years. Without a doubt, the success of my organization, and consequently myself, is directly tied to the skills I developed on this program."
