8. Boston University Executive MBA Program What BU EMBA Sponsors Say • “The Boston University EMBA was a great investment for our company.  We were able to send a high potential executive to program who had limited P/L experience prior to EMBA.  She was able to complete the program in a short period of time, maintained existing job performance, and came back to the business ready to take on more responsibility.  We were able to move her immediately into a senior marketing role with P/L responsibility.  She was able to perform at an extremely high level, achieving top quartile year over year sales increases in a very competitive market.”  M. Crosby, COO Irving Oil, Sponsor of Kathi Webber, Director, Business to Consumer Marketing • “I have been very impressed by the Executive MBA Program at BU.
