The Executive Master’s in Leadership – Greece (EML–G) is a rigorous graduate degree that prepares experienced professionals to lead amid complex business, policy, and societal challenges. Delivered by Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business in Athens, the program develops executives with a broad, integrative perspective on leadership and the forces shaping organizations and economies in Greece, the region, and beyond.
Educating Leaders to Advance Greece and the Region’s Energy Future
In collaboration with PPC, a leading Powertech Group in Southeast Europe, the Executive Master’s in Leadership – Greece (EML–G) supports the development of senior talent equipped to lead through economic transformation, energy transition, and institutional change. Offered by Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, this program is AACSB accredited.
The curriculum draws on Georgetown’s long-established Executive Master’s in Leadership program while situating leadership practice within the strategic, regulatory, and societal contexts shaping Greece and the broader region. Over 10 months of study, participants gain an integrated understanding of leadership, business, and public policy, preparing them to navigate complexity and drive organizational impact.
Structured for working professionals, the program is delivered through 10 intensive modules. Nine modules are taught in Athens once a month on Thursday through Sunday, complemented by a culminating residency and commencement ceremony at Georgetown’s campus in Washington, D.C. This design allows participants to engage deeply with the curriculum while continuing to meet professional responsibilities, and to develop a leadership perspective that is both locally grounded and globally informed.
A company’s enduring strength lies in its people. And this program serves as a leadership hub, empowering innovative minds to lead with purpose through global shifts in energy and the economy. PPC Group’s powerful synergy with Georgetown University ensures a high-quality blending of rigorous academic theory with global business insights.
