Looking for a nationally-recognized Executive MBA program accessible from Portland? The EMBA at the Michael G. Foster School of Business in Seattle has been serving mid-career business professionals from the Portland area for years. Foster EMBA students and alumni represent key companies like Providence Health System, Intel Corporation, Powell’s Books, Nike Inc. and Davis Wine Company.
John Wallace, now a product marketing manager, leveraged his Executive MBA degree to move from a technical position to a managerial role on the business side at Intel Corporation after he graduated in 2010. He liked the Foster EMBA’s North America schedule because he commuted from Portland to Seattle just once a month, and was able to focus entirely on his education without distractions while away from his job.:
“I was an engineering manager at Intel… I finished my EMBA, and… I’m now manager of our product marketing group in our Netbook and Tablet Division. It really gave me the ability to change disciplines, to go from engineering to a product marketing role. I don’t think I would have been able to do that without the degree under my belt.”
