"This is an intense and inspiring week and a well-structured program that covers the long journey from idea generation to market success, embedding the many facets of innovation and entrepreneurship into a bigger picture. It provides insights into both worlds: the small startup and the large organization. A world-class faculty, supported from excellent guest speakers from the Silicon Valley scene and beyond. This course will definitely support and improve my future work."
"This program is an opportunity to share and learn from experience of senior managers from all around the globe. The program combines experienced tutors and practitioners from the Silicon Valley providing a unique mix that boosts your creativity and thinking about the implementation of the knowledge you have just learned."
"I had a wonderful, enriching experience at the Boot Camp for Experienced Managers. The training was a nice blend of theory and practical examples. It was very rewarding to connect with like-minded folks and discuss my organizational issues, and to listen to their ideas. I have already highly recommended this training to my colleagues."

"As I’ve mentioned, I lead the finance operations for Rahi Systems, and my accounting and finance team comprises 11 employees, 10 of which are women. My team has the most women of any function within the organization. It’s no secret that our industry is male-dominated. I was drawn to a course focused on women in leadership not only for my own development, but also to help the women on my team develop as professionals. The Women’s Executive Leadership program gave me tangible tools and skills that have resulted in noticeable improvements in confidence and performance for me and my team. I could see a noticeable improvement in a recent presentation I gave, and the best part was noticing how confident I appeared being on stage in front of all of those people. That was not how I felt in the past! I have nothing but praises for UC Berkeley and this amazing class.”
“This program was amazing – it was unlike any other for its ability to help me grow as a person. It was less academic and more about learning to be authentic.I am still deeply connected with the women I met. We stay in touch via LinkedIn, and those of us who are local regularly meet for lunch, dinner, and coffee. We’ve stayed in close contact – especially now during the pandemic – often daily, through texting, direct messaging and video get-togethers."
"The program's roots in science and research made the experience memorable and trustworthy. The presenters, mostly professors, were able to present their research in engaging, narrative, and experiential ways, so the takeaways really stuck. If you are ready to feel more comfortable taking and holding power responsibly, this program will enable you with the tactics and science behind how to do so effectively."
"We all think communications is so simple and straightforward. And it can be, if we have the right tools (as taught in this class) and achieve the right outcomes. And this is exactly what this class does. The program empowered me with the right tools to communicate effectively to different audience levels across my organization. The value out of this program will be felt instantly and having these skills will equip anyone for any type of communication with any type of audience."
"This course provides the exposure and practice needed to be effective in both external negotiations on behalf of your business and for internal negotiations within your company. Robust well prepared cases to practice using role play. Develops the practical skills needed."
"I learned a lot about the latest techniques associated with the product management role. I realized that many of the things I was following as good practices are now obsolete due to the digital transformation."
"Go for it! I would encourage new VC’s and founders that this will be invaluable to you and your business. I feel ready to take on the world."
"The (online) program allowed me to interact with a world-wide class, which was interesting to see the different perspectives. In a sense, the online course REDUCED anxiety as the pressures to arrive on-time, navigate traffic, find parking, etc. was eliminated. I am much more likley to take on-line courses in the future because of this... Perhaps the biggest thing that I learned is that we all have the ability to be great leaders, but it requires continuous focus and work to develop, hone, and refine skills."
"I have already suggested my colleagues to take this program. The discipline that I gained during the (online) program was so effective that I observed the change in my presentation during those 3 days."
"Highly recommend! (You) will learn a lot to assist in PM & PMM work. I learned a lot and I'm able to apply it my day-to day work responsibilities."
"This program exceeded my expectations. I was really really happy with it --- I learned a lot from the onset. The class allowed me to articulate my ideas. There is a lot of pitching in my job, and the storytelling framework was really valuable for me as someone working in a big enterprise."
"I still keep in touch with the people I met in this session! I’ve built relationships with others in the course, and I wouldn’t have gotten this opportunity to meet them if I hadn't taken Product Management Studio."
