#OfficiallyGraduatedFromTheExecutiveTransitionProgramAtESMTBerlin with my Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Management! 🎓
20+ years in
#Telco taught me
#execution.
#ETP taught me
#orchestration.
I joined this program right as I was making a major career pivot. After two decades of building and scaling in Telecommunications, I stepped into
#Cybersecurity at
#PaloAltoNetworks. Navigating a new industry, a new company, and ETP’s intensive curriculum simultaneously was one of the most demanding stretches of my career.
Moving from Stockholm to Berlin, the curriculum pushed us far beyond theory and deep into real General Management practice:
- Module 1 (Sweden): Leadership transitions, finance, and the Global GM Business Simulation.
- Module 2 (Germany): Strategic decision-making, ESG, and leveraging AI for business value.
- Module 3 (Germany): Leading adaptive change, psychological safety, and influencing without formal authority.
The rigorous peer coaching and late-night debates with
#Cohort22 truly brought these frameworks to life.
Two distinct thank-yous are essential here:
- To
Ellen Herb,
Margarida Camejo, the world-class
ESMT Berlin faculty, and
#Cohort22 — thank you for the trust, the constructive challenges, and the collective growth.
-To my manager at Palo Alto Networks,
Mitch Rappard — your unwavering backing from day one gave me the space to learn and grow while I was still onboarding.
#Leaders who genuinely
#invest in their people's long-term development make all the difference.
I’m incredibly excited to bring this broader
#GeneralManagement lens to securing our digital way of life. The transition continues! 🚀
