IE Business School’s Global Senior Management Program brings international leaders together in New York to address important geopolitical and business challenges

Students from IE Business School's Global Senior Management Program have participated in a new residential experience in New York, a key stage within this senior management program designed for executives with a solid international background. During their stay, participants explored some of the main challenges shaping the global business agenda, from organizational transformation and value creation to the impact of geopolitics on strategic decision-making.

The program brought together executives from different countries and sectors, providing them with the opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences with prominent business and institutional leaders. It is an experience that fosters a global vision of leadership in an environment characterized by uncertainty, technological acceleration and the increasing complexity of international markets.

In academic sessions held at IE New York College’s headquarters, participants addressed the fundamental skills required to lead organizations in a constantly evolving business context: value creation, an entrepreneurial mindset, change management and executive communication.

A particularly important highlight was a visit to the headquarters of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), where they analyzed the challenges of transatlantic relations and their influence on the global economic scenario. During the meeting, George Gray Molina, chief economist of the UNDP Global Policy Bureau, shared his expert vision on the evolution of the international economy and the role multilateral organizations play in the face of current geopolitical challenges.

Prominent representatives from the business sector also took part in the experience. Carlos Reyes, a managing director at Palladium Equity Partners, gave a session focused on the evolution of private markets and their contribution to value creation in the global economy. Víctor Bultó, president of Novartis US, closed the program with a reflection on the challenges of health systems in the United States and internationally. He also spoke about leadership in the age of AI and its impact on talent.

The Global Senior Management Program offers online training with face-to-face experiences in Madrid and New York to executives with an international profile. It also aims to connect a global community of leaders, committed to transforming their organizations and ready to overcome the challenges of an increasingly dynamic, interconnected environment.
