EMBA Student Building on Past Experience

Kimberly Cosgrove's entire career has been in the construction industry and in 1992 she co-founded Montreal-based Construction Cogela Inc. "Some people have the experience of working five years in one area, two or three in another," she says. "I didn't." In 2008, she decided the time had arrived to expand her business-leadership knowledge and skills, including tapping in to different perspectives and approaches on how to tackle business problems. That summer, she enrolled in McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management and HEC Montreal's joint EMBA. Encouraging open-classroom discussion won Ms. Cosgrove over. She appreciated the special attention given to ensuring a good mix of students and professors from various backgrounds, says Ms. Cosgrove, pictured, who graduated in February.
