EXPLORE MY BUSINESS AMBITIONS THE CRANFIELD EXECUTIVE MBA
ALUMNI PROFILES STEVEN WOOD BRITISH, EMBA 2013, CO-FOUNDER & DIRECTOR EQUUS ENGLAND Steven came to Cranfield after twenty years in IT where he d worked in a number of roles in both the public and private sectors. He wanted firstly to develop a wider appreciation and understanding of management and business and then go on to start his own business. Once at Cranfield, Steven was impressed by the emphasis on leadership development. The integrated approach to personal development, underpinned by the management theory taught in class, gave him the confidence to develop his business ideas. These ideas came to fruition thanks to the support of the Bettany Centre Steven launched his online equestrian clothing site, www.equus.co.uk, and went on to secure seed funding shortly after graduating. DR CHARMAINE GRIFFITHS BRITISH, EMBA 2012, DIRECTOR OF STRATEGY & PERFORMANCE, BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION After 14 years working in leading UK health and medical research organisations, Charmaine decided to undertake an MBA to broaden her experience and hone her skills for the increasing challenges facing the health and research environment. As a Director at the British Heart Foundation, she chose Cranfield because of its unique blend of personal development and strong track record in areas such as economics and logistics. Supported by a Cranfield Trust scholarship, Charmaine found the MBA a life-changing experience and a great grounding to step into a new board role as Director of Strategy and Performance.

FUNDING YOUR EXECUTIVE MBA Many of our Executive MBA students are sponsored in some way, either fully or partly funded by their sponsoring organisation. Work-related study adds value to a business; equipping talented individuals with the tools they need to develop their skills and is an ideal way to retain talent and underpin succession planning strategies. WORK-RELATED STUDY Throughout the programme, Executive MBA students have the opportunity to apply their classroom learning to solve problems at work, to carry out work-related projects, and to learn from best practice across a range of industries. CORPORATE BURSARIES We know that companies want to realise a return on their investment when sponsoring students. Cranfield can offer corporate bursaries to organisations wishing to support students to study for an Executive MBA. Please contact us to discuss this further. SALARY SACRIFICE Companies and individuals can benefit from participating in a Salary Sacrifice scheme. Under this kind of scheme, the employer reduces the employee s salary by the amount of the programme fee, and pays the fee directly to the School. As a result, the individual pays no tax or national insurance on the sacrificed amount, and the employer avoids paying national insurance on this part of the employee s salary.
