"I'd reached a natural point in my job where my technology background would only get me so far. I needed to understand business and enhance my management skills in order to continue moving up," says Kimber.

"The EMBA-MOT's focus on technology was a unique feature of the program, and it had everything I was looking for. The management of technology focus allowed me to take full advantage of my technical expertise while gaining an understanding of business," Kimber says.

| In July 2008, Kimber was promoted to Chief Technology Officer of TalentQuest, and now has "total ownership of all technology inside the company" reporting directly to the CEO. "The EMBA-MOT program helped me move up in the company. I believe that our CEO has seen a difference in the way I operate," Kimber says. "The program helped me reevaluate how to make strategic business decisions. I have already created value for TalentQuest with the new skills I've gained. We have definitely seen a good return on the investment." |
