Bart Guns, Chairman of the Board of Directors, KBC, Alumnus IT Governance
“De IT Governance opleiding kwam voor mij op het gepaste moment. Na 2 jaar als IT-Manager (met 20 jaar business ervaring) was het voor mij duidelijk dat ik een gefundeerde basis voor IT-governance kon gebruiken. Nochtans wordt IT-governance op een heel efficiënte en sterk ontwikkelde manier gebruikt in het bedrijf waar ik werk.
De professoren tijdens dit programma waren zeer ervaren en brachten zeer interessante topics aan, sommige theoretisch, andere eerder praktisch.”

Marc Van Santen, Manager Infrastructure at Iristeam, Alumnus Executive Master in IT Governance
“Along my career in IT infrastructure, I was often confronted with a gab in communication between high level management and operational technical management. The Executive Master in IT Governance helped me to solve the problem and make it possible for me to align high level decision making with day to day operational IT management.”
Michel Martin, IT Business Analyst, European Commission, Alumnus Executive Master in IT Governance
“The Executive Master in IT Governance has not only given me the opportunity to get an holistic view of all IT Governance’s domains but also provided me an in-depth practical knowledge in specific matters. In my every day’s work, this helps to bridge the gap between Business Strategy and IT by leveraging the number of value added tactical initiatives. Therefore, I would definitively recommend this education program to all CIOs and IT leaders. ”
