Formed by an alliance of three world-renowned universities— New York University Stern School of Business (NYU Stern), London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and HEC Paris—the program has graduated 500 senior executives from more than 70 countries since it was launched in September 2001. The anniversary was the opportunity for Bernard Ramanantsoa, dean of HEC Paris, to announce plans to expand the program (in particular, the addition of a second cohort starting in September 2012). “The value of the TRIUM program in fostering both leadership and entrepreneurship as well as a deeper understanding of global issues has been proven by the careers and lives of our alumni in the past 10 years. We set about creating a program without equivalent in modern executive education.” The key to TRIUM’s success is being able to adapt to changes in the surrounding environment, while remaining perfectly in line with the expectations of executives and managers!
