Here's what Alan Leon, MBA Alumnus 2012, had to say about the Doing Business in Brazil program: Heading link
Doing Business in Brazil (DBB) provided me with valuable in-field experience with one of the fastest growing BRICS nations. The acquisition of my enhanced professional contacts, top 3 international business school education, and insight into Brazil’s rapid economic growth, vibrant history and welcoming culture, have given me powerful new answers and real-world examples for distinguishing myself from other qualified colleagues and job candidates.
