UC Berkeley Executive Education

The current cohort of the Berkeley Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Program met on campus this month to learn from professors Jennifer Chatman, Kurt Beyer, and Juliana Schroeder and one another. We're inspired by your energy and look forward to everything you'll accomplish during and beyond this program. (And special thanks to Ian Brown, Kelley F. Cornish, and Paul Janssen MA MBA MSc 杨 保 罗 for sharing your photos!) 📅 The next cohort begins July 15, 2025 — now accepting applications. https://lnkd.in/gSJfv7PB

Most of us spend time planning team goals and project milestones, but less so on our professional goals.

Our UC Berkeley Executive Education team had a fantastic time hosting Cubo Itaú at Memorial Stadium on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Professors Fred Finan and Demian Gaston Pouzo joined forces to conduct an insightful AI workshop. At the end of the program, executives shared their plans and projects in engaging presentations. A special thank you to Pedro Luiz Rego and Marcella Falcão for their exceptional collaboration, and to Flavio Feferman for his valuable role as our faculty advisor. We extend our sincere appreciation to Maria Gaitan for expertly managing the program and ensuring a smooth learning experience for all participants. Last but not least kudos to Elizabeth Lowry, MBA for year-long design and detail that made this partnership a reality.

We’ve just welcomed our second cohort of HR leaders to the Berkeley Transformative CHRO Leadership Program co-led by Laszlo Bock! Co-faculty directors Laszlo Bock, Jennifer Chatman, and Sameer Srivastava kicked off module one with three days of intensive on-campus instruction at University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business. We’re deeply grateful to our sponsors, Heidrick & Struggles McKinsey & Company for their continued support. A special thank you to our outstanding guest speakers Arden Hoffman, Farah Dilber, and Dr. Molly Sands, PhD for sharing their insights and experiences.

Negotiations can be daunting. Participants of Negotiation and Influence often come to us looking to overcome their greatest fear or challenge in negotiations. The hands-on nature of the program, led by University of California, Berkeley, Haas School of Business professor Holly Schroth, Ph.D., leaves participants with a renewed sense of how to approach and thrive in negotiations. A testimonial from a participant who's a regional sales manager at Paychex raved,"The UC Berkeley Negotiations training program provided with many tools to improve my critical reasoning process. The content was excellent, the role playing hit home and Holly was fantastic!”

Congratulations to the recent graduates of the Berkeley Executive Leadership Program! Participants are empowered to refine their leadership styles, sharpen their decision-making skills, and expand their ability to drive growth and innovation across their organizations. This transformative journey is led by Maura O’Neill, Jennifer Chatman, David Riemer, Juliana Schroeder and Dr. Sahar Yousef.
