Arocena, this award recognizes the IPADE participants that best embody the values of the institution.
For the ceremony, executives from Grupo Beta San Miguel joined IPADE faculty and staff at the Mexico City and Monterrey campuses to announce the winners of the award. Nominee’s families were also invited to attend.
Following a brief introduction of each nominee by MBA Program Director Ernesto Bolio Barajas, IPADE Dean Rafael Gómez Nava invited the nominees to reflect on their time at IPADE and their futures as business leaders.
“Always lead by example, and make sure that you take the values that you learn in these classrooms and apply them to life beyond these walls,” said Dean Gómez Nava. “Being a business leader is an honorable calling. Business leaders encourage economic growth while also addressing society’s most pressing issues.”
