HEC Paris School of Management - a leading global business school - will highlight its world-leading HEC Executive MBA program and executive education expertise to business executives in Kuwait during the Access MBA Fair to be held on 11 April at the Crowne Plaza Hotel.

During the fair, HEC Paris will be holding one-to-one meetings with interested and qualified business executives and will be explaining in detail how its HEC Executive MBA program can contribute to their aspirations of becoming among the top leaders and business professionals in the world.

"HEC Paris is strongly committed to developing tomorrow's business leaders of Kuwait," said Professor Laoucine Kerbache, Chief Executive Officer and Academic Dean of HEC Paris in Qatar. "With a peaking global oil prices resulting in high budget surpluses and a banking sector that has been recovering well from the global economic crisis, the future of Kuwait's business and economic growth looks bright. Thus, in order to further benefit from such positive economic performances, it is imperative for aspiring business executives in Kuwait to be equipped with appropriate frameworks and best practices that will enable them to knowledgeably and expertly manage expectations and challenges in such  a complex environment relative to the highly globalized economy.

"Certainly, our Executive MBA program will provide them with the appropriate knowledge and skills that will enable them to bring their respective organizations to greater heights and boost their professional careers and achieve their aspirations," he added. "We are therefore looking forward to meeting these candidates at the Access MBA Fair in Kuwait and provide them with the necessary counseling on how to unlock their talent and join  the top business executives in the region and the world."
