Paul Harvey, Executive Director of Recruitment and Admissions at LBS says, “We are delighted to welcome 110 new seasoned business executives to our ranks. Students on our executive programmes bring with them vast experience across a broad spectrum of industries which enriches the learning experience of not only their peers but other students across the LBS community. We are particularly proud of having grown the breadth and depth of experience in our classes in the face of a challenging macro-economic environment.”
