MISSION STATEMENT

My mission is to provide practical courses in business analysis for effective professionals. The objective is to keep the focus on the essential needs of professionals that work within short due dates and under pressure.

We provide a hands-on learning process. During the courses, my students have the opportunity of developing skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and quali-quantitative analysis in practical business applications. My sessions started with the basics, then practice, implementation in a supporting software, and at the end, recommendations for a professional presentation. We cover the complete cycle, from the analysis to the business presentation.

My background includes D.Sc. in Industrial Engineering, and MBA, and 20+ years of hands-on experience in service and manufacturing industry. My teaching differentials represent a combined approach with a deep understanding of Business Management models, real case assessments, and personal testimony from my multifaceted experience. My extensive hands-on business experience (20+ years) along with proper teaching methods has been contributing to my students’ success since my first teaching assignment 15 years ago.
