The most coveted executive position in business has undergone a dramatic shift in recent years.
In a recent study, Harvard Business Review (HBR) ranked the world's top 100 CEOs in 2019 and identified a common pattern among most of them — yet one that is uncommon among the vast majority of CEOs in the market.
Among everyone on the list, 60 of them (60 percent) hold no MBA whatsoever. Including the top two: Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, and Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.
If you search "MBA for CEO" on Google right now, you'll get around 178 million results — all offering the most varied courses, programs, and medium- to long-term training options.
Well… For 60 of the world's top 100 CEOs, none of that matters in the least today.
Every CEO needs a broad arsenal of skills to reach such a position: finance, controls, management, governance, marketing, and so on.
What do all these competencies have in common? Data-driven decision-making, most of the time.
But as long as MBAs continue to produce professionals with only the skills that any pre-programmed algorithm can perform far better than a human being, it will make less and less sense to pursue that kind of education in the years ahead.
And the number of CEOs without an MBA on the world's best list could rise well above 60 percent…
If you are a CEO, President, or VP of a company, or currently hold a C-Level or Executive Director role and are willing to build the skills the market is demanding…
The StartSe Executive Program is a strong option for developing the new competencies and capabilities every CEO or leader will need going forward.
And it's not just us saying so — it's the more than 400 CEOs and Presidents we trained throughout 2019:
"StartSe challenges our thinking in a way that can truly revolutionize our attitudes and actions. It makes us renew ourselves…"

"I found the whole setup very cool, practical, and no-nonsense — it has the feel of an entrepreneur speaking to an entrepreneur. Kruel and Pedro really convey that."
Fabrício
"A unique moment for exchanging experiences with top professionals and awakening an exponential mindset for the new economy."
Bruno Ferreira
"The best part is that StartSe practiced what it preached — there was no theory, and the approach was very much in line with the reality we live day to day. That is extremely rare, since in most cases the models are designed for large corporations with the money and people to implement a management model, even a traditional one."
Sergio Belarmino
