Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Program

"The UC Berkeley Haas faculty brought exceptional value through their academic rigor, diverse thought leadership, and rich experience working with global leaders. Equally impactful was my peer cohort, which was truly global and diverse in perspectives and backgrounds. The Chief Executive Officer Program has helped me better recognize my strengths and take a more holistic approach to transformational change — particularly in blending strategy, culture, and leadership."

“The content of the program was highly relevant for my job and skill set, and I could implement my learnings immediately. I learned amazing strategic thinking and innovation skills from a very experienced faculty, setting me up for success in leading transformational change. I had an incredible time working with a fantastic group of peers, tackling real-world business challenges together, and building lifelong friendships. I loved the expert-led classes that blended cutting-edge theories with practical insights and enjoyed expanding my network with awesome, high-achieving professionals.”

“The Haas culture changed my leadership style and mindset. In the quest of understanding what was expected of me as a newly appointed CEO, this program could not have been any clearer. It showed me how I could be the best possible leader through understanding myself and the need to transform into a servant leader. Using real-life tools, modern theories, and firsthand experience, the staff showed us how the best CEOs do it.”

“Attending the UC Berkeley Executive Education CEO Program has been transformative. It gave me the space — and the challenge — to rediscover what kind of leader I truly want to be. Through rigorous coursework, peer collaboration, and deeply reflective conversations, I found not just clarity but conviction. UC Berkeley didn’t just reinforce what I already knew — it reshaped me. It pushed me to think more expansively, to lead with greater purpose, and to embrace a modern, humanistic leadership style rooted in trust, innovation, and care. I left with the tools, the vision, and — most importantly — the confidence to lead my company the right way: for our mission, our people, and the future we’re building together. Thank you to the incredible faculty and cohort for helping me more fully become the leader I’m meant to be.”
