Who Are Our Professors?

HEC Lausanne’s Executive MBA brings together the best of both worlds: academic excellence and hands-on business expertise. Most of our faculty are tenured professors at the University of Lausanne—renowned researchers whose work shapes our curriculum and ensures intellectual depth.

Alongside them, experienced industry leaders, lecturers, and guest speakers play an essential role in the programme. These practitioners bring practical insights, real-world case studies, and the strategic tools needed to navigate today’s business challenges.

This blend ensures a learning experience that is both intellectually challenging and immediately applicable.

Together, they create a dynamic learning environment where academic theory meets business reality—equipping you with the insights, tools, and confidence to lead with impact.
