Testimonials

Discover how PMD® has transformed the careers of professionals like you.

  • Biljana Maksimovic

    Biljana Maksimovic

    Global Marketing Manager · Cinco Jotas - Grupo Osborne

    More than a training or skill-development program, the PMD® transforms your professional potential. It pushes you to question your paradigms and overcome your limits while also filling your “backpack” with tools and weapons to successfully face any future challenges. The program’s differential value is the enormous wealth of its content and the obsession to constantly improve and update that content. In addition, you’ll like the tremendous professional and human quality of the academic team and your classmates.

  • Alejandro Caballero Cespedes

    Alejandro Caballero Cespedes

    HO Manufacturing Engineering Foundations, AIRBUS

    The PMD® gives students a global vision of the key strategic aspects of a company, such as finance, operations, and marketing. It also puts special focus on personal growth through coaching sessions and management development classes. It is a great program for professionals who aspire to make their teams and companies better.

  • David Rillo

    David Rillo

    General Manager, LOVATO ELECTRICS, S.L.U

    Doing the PMD at the same time as my professional work has given me a broader vision of the company and the environment. This enables me to develop and determine more structured strategies for the medium and long term. In addition, I have acquired the tools and the grounding needed to quickly apply the knowledge acquired from various approaches to finance, marketing, and innovation. PMD® training has produced tangible results and boosted my personal growth.

  • Nuria Torres

    Nuria Torres

    Director Corporate and Program Marketing, “la Caixa” Foundation

    The PMD® has been a key opportunity to understand the business ecosystem and how each area contributes to meeting corporate objectives, as well as those goals that help improve society. It has given me a greater strategic vision, where innovation, talent, and the ability to adapt to change are essential. By learning techniques that can be immediately applied, and developing a business plan that consolidated the knowledge acquired, I can now make projects more distinctive and efficient. I must also highlight the development of people leadership, a differential value in any company. Sharing this training with experienced professionals from diverse disciplines was also very enriching.

  • Jurgen Bumann

    Jurgen Bumann

    Senior Product Manager · Desigual

    The PMD® encourages participants to be curious to get into the details of the business environment from different perspectives (financial, marketing, innovation,...); the program shows us that by being proactive we can transform our teams and companies from within in order to be more effective.

  • Manuel Gancedo

    Manuel Gancedo

    General Manager at Gancedo

    The PMD® has been a great help in reviewing the company's strategy in a global way. It provides you with the tools to identify business key aspects, analyze and interpret the environment, and the latest working methods to put it into practice. The benefits are immediate because it includes working on a Business Project of real application. It is, in short, a good strategy for both training and development of managerial skills.

  • Beatriz Miguel

    Beatriz Miguel

    Director of Product Development and Operational Quality, Ilunion Hoteles

    Completing the PMD® represents a before and after in my professional career. The program has enabled us to acquire a global and strategic view of the firm and it has provided us with different and very necessary management tools to successfully lead our organizations. The program's application and personal follow-up through the LEAD competency development program represent a significant added-value and provoke a very personal analysis of who we are, where we want to go and how we're going to achieve our objectives.
