Distinguished Alumni 2026

Gestión Gerencial Hospitalaria Programme 1988–1989

"For me, EADA marked the start of my career in management and the transition period from doctor to manager, which involved a major shift in perspective. Today, I realise that, in some way, I'm bringing this chapter of my life to a close. Along the way, I have learnt two important things: the importance of purpose –providing care from a humanistic approach– and the commitment of professionals. I would like to thank EADA for being there at the beginning and the end of this chapter in my career".

International Master in Management 2009-2010

"At EADA, I gained knowledge, but I also learnt values such as leadership, integrity, responsibility and teamwork, which have stayed with me throughout my career. These values have played a part in every decision I’ve made. Looking back, I’d highlight three main ideas: always pick yourself up, surround yourself with people who believe in you and build strong relationships. In the end, what brings you to this point in your career comes as much from yourself as from those around you".

Executive MBA 2009–2011

"EADA was a turning point for me, both professionally and personally, because it forced me to stop and decide where I wanted to go. I came to understand that the real plan was my own personal development. From that experience, I learnt to be and create the multiplier effect in my teams; to learn from constructive criticism and build self-esteem without confusing it with ego. Today, EADA is part of my personal and professional development".

Dirección General - PDG Programme 1988–1989

"I arrived at EADA seeking a new perspective, some guidance and help with organising the ideas I already had as an entrepreneur. It was here that I was able to consolidate the concepts that I have always followed such as the importance of profit margins and the humanistic approach. Over the years, I have learnt that we have to find our own way, understand reality without distorting it and always maintain a positive attitude. The world will always change around us. Ultimately, it’s about adapting, progressing and leaving a legacy".

International MBA 2005–2006

"Returning to EADA has brought back some very special memories of an experience that helped me grow both professionally and personally. I gained an international outlook, new ways of thinking and a leadership style that has stayed with me ever since. The people and experience at EADA have shaped my career and the person I am today".

International MBA 2000–2001

"My time at EADA was a transformative experience, especially as I came from an engineering background. Here I learnt to work as part of a team and analyse complex situations where there is more than one right answer. That way of thinking has formed the basis of my career. I understood that any business is, in reality, a people business and impact stems from how you work with them".

Master en Marketing 2007–2008

"I remember the effort involved in preparing the case studies, but above all, I remember the value of the discussions and of sharing my views with people from all over the world. My experience at EADA has had a profound impact in the way I think and work as well as my leadership style. It also opened my eyes to the world of academia. I am very grateful to be here today".

Dirección General - PDG 1995–1996

"I came to EADA with a very clear idea: to do good, you have to do it well. My previous experience was in the third sector and I wanted to learn how to professionalise the way we work and incorporate new ideas of working and organisation. It was here that I realised the power of social commitment. Since then, I have devoted my career to implementing management practices for the common good and integrating the management skills I learnt at EADA to do good".
