PROGRAMS FOR CURRENT AND ASPIRING EXECUTIVES
Some words of wisdom for aspiring executives
Nathaniel enthusiastically recommends the Ascension program and training tailored to the needs of current or emerging leaders, emphasizing the importance of looking at the big picture and building a development plan that is in sync with both their professional needs and their organization’s strategic goals. For those with management aspirations, he has this tip: “Keep building up your toolbox. Try out new things, read, get coaching and take courses. These are essential in helping you grow as an individual, as a manager and as a productive member of society at every stage of your life.” Fuelling the desire to go even further Nathaniel met some very influential people in the Ascension program, and he hopes to keep in contact with them. They include three HEC Montréal professors— Louis Hébert, Laurent Simon and Nicolas Vincent — and one expert — Jacques Neatby. They were fantastic teachers who taught him more than he could’ve ever imagined. And they fuelled his desire to go even further. This is the momentum that led him to enrol in the McGill–HEC Montréal EMBA in 2025. He is excited about making this leap and determined to succeed. “Ascension arrived at a pivotal point in my career. I’ve got 20 years under my belt, and I have another 20 ahead of me. The program marks the beginning of the rest of my professional trajectory, and I really want to see how far I can take things. This wasn’t something I aspired to before I completed the program, but Ascension really took me to a whole other place.”
