This October, IEDC–Bled School of Management proudly welcomes a new MBA cohort of 26 outstanding professionals embarking on their leadership and learning journey in Bled. This is the second MBA cohort enrolled this year, bringing the total number of new MBA participants in 2025 to almost 60.
Representing eight countries – Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Netherlands, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, and Ukraine – this diverse group includes 73% international participants, with an average age of 38.6 years and more than 14 years of professional experience, including over eight years in management roles. With 23% women and 77% men, the class reflects the richness of perspectives and leadership experience that define the IEDC learning community.
The participants were warmly welcomed by Prof. Danica Purg, Dean of IEDC, Prof. Drikus Kriek, MBA Director, Prof. Nenad Filipović, MBA Project Director, Petra Humerca, Program Manager, and Sandra Žahić, MBA Admission Officer.
By joining the program, our participants also become part of the IEDC Alumni Network – a vibrant global community of more than 1,600 graduates from 75 countries.
We look forward to the new connections, collaborations, and ideas that will grow from this experience, and to seeing how the knowledge gained at IEDC will inspire fresh leadership journeys around the world.
Welcome to Bled and welcome to the IEDC family!
