Mark Esposito - DBA Alumnus

“ISM has been foundational to my educational journey as part of their faculty as well as an alumnus of the doctoral program, since 2006 when I started.
It is probably the most exclusive boutique doctoral school I have ever come across, with small size classrooms that allow direct interaction with world-class faculty, coming from all over the world.
Flexible in nature, rigorous and empowering, my relationship with ISM is one meant to last a lifetime, as a proud member of their Doctoral community.”
