"The
AeA/Stanford Executive Institute provided very valuable insights
into general management and leadership early in my management
career. These insights gave me an important foundation that I
continue to utilize, even today. By focusing on the high technology
industry, the Institute provided me with very relevant and
immediately useful information."
Ned
Barnholt
Chairman Emeritus
Agilent Technologies
1975 Alumnus
of Inaugural Institute
"We send senior leaders to the AeA/Stanford Executive
Institute each year because it provides a unique multinational,
multi business and cross functional environment in which the
learning is enhanced and enriched by the environment itself. All
Boeing's senior leaders complete an internal Boeing leadership
development program which is great, but while we bring in
outstanding faculty to teach it, its completely homogeneous and
insular meaning everyone who attends talks only about Boeing for
two
weeks. The AeA/Stanford Executive Institute provides our leaders
with a vital cross industry perspective on how to play and advance
in competitive international technology markets."
Daniel Watt
Director of Operations
Boeing
"The best training program for management and leadership I have ever
attended."
Rowan Trollope
Vice President
Symantec
"A must for high tech executives. Tremendous interaction with
world-class professors and fellow executives."
David Hall
Senior Vice President and General Manager
Endwave Corporation
"The single most important executive education experience I have had!"
