"After taking Financial Data Analysis for Leaders, I immediately started doing corporate financial analysis for an investment bank. The knowledge I gained in the program was something I was able to apply right away. Being an experiential learner, I like to learn something in a short period of time and then apply it immediately. My goal was always to take very key practical things I learned in the different programs and implement the information immediately at work."
- Venture Partner, Movens Capital"The short formulas I learned In the Financial Data Analysis for Leaders program enable me to take complex financial concepts and communicate them in a stripped-down, simple fashion for the lay person. I will continue to use this method throughout my career."
- Co-Founder & Vice President of Finance, Rahi Systems"It doesn't matter whether you have almost no knowledge of financial analysis or have a degree of familiarity this program is well paced and will provide a great refresh and some different ways of thinking about financial data."
