Who comprises a Vanderbilt C-Team? Each C-Team is made up of 4-5 individuals who bring a diverse set of skills and experience to share. The diversity comes not only in job function and industry, but in age, gender, or ethnicity as well. It’s those unique differences in backgrounds and life experiences that create the ideal opportunity to maximize the learning experience. Intended to simulate a real-world corporate C-Suite team, the Executive MBA C-Team becomes a supported “learning lab” in which members can draw on the expertise of the team while stretching to reach their own leadership potential. It’s the reason our alums often say they learn as much from their peers as their world-class faculty. Jay Luis Aguilar

I literally could not have picked a better C-Team to work with. Part of the reason I was interested in an Executive MBA was the opportunity to learn from my classmates who have experience in different industries and fields. My team comes from finance, operations, legal, and military backgrounds. We collaborate very well together and we are all driven to be the best team in the program. We’re probably the most competitive group in our class, which drives us to deliver the best products for each class. Ultimately, my C-Team has made me a better student and a better business leader.
