“What Olin offers are foundational skills to understand the different problems that arise in any business. Having visibility of the steps that are in play is critically important to making the right business decisions in my world, which is health care.”

Why he chose the Olin Executive MBA program
“To be able to understand hospital operations, the balance sheet and those things are really critical to my success. I started looking for great opportunities, and that led me to Olin.”
How he describes the EMBA experience
“The faculty, and the personalized attention that they give you as a student at Olin, is tremendous. The network that you build is one that can’t be beat. It’s both international and national. It’s within St. Louis and beyond.”
And it didn’t take time for a return on his investment. What he learned in his classes “was something that I could use in a real-life learning lab back at the hospital, as far as for leadership and communication.”
What he took away from the EMBA program
“What Olin offers are the foundational skills to understand the different problems that arise in any business.” Being able to see what steps are in play “is really critically important to making the right business decisions in my world, which is health care.”
“Our goal at Cardinal Glennon is not only to see patients, but to make sure they receive the safest care possible, and do it in a fiscally responsible way. Without the business training, I would not be doing a good enough job to further that hospital mission in pediatric health care.”
