Executive MBA Alumni Perspective
L. David Mounts, WG'04

“I knew an MBA would help me put my experience into perspective and help me crystallize my vision for the future. At the same time, I would be sharpening my managerial, organizational, and financial skills. I chose Wharton because I wanted access to some of the best minds in the areas of finance, operations, and logistics, and I knew the faculty members at Wharton would be vital in helping me frame the thinking to achieve my career goals.”
