This program, the way it is structured, has given me a lot of additional tools in my tool-belt to be able to go back and advocate for doing things the way they should be done.

My background is not in cybersecurity, [so] what's really great for me specifically is that they've taught me in a way that makes sense to me as the CEO.
Shaun Garcia
CEO Value-Based Care (VBC)
Duke has a really strong network of cybersecurity professionals. What I liked about that is there's multiple levels of people from top to bottom in different areas within cybersecurity, and I think when you are a cybersecurity leader, you have to know how to work with people with varying expertise levels.

You see these great professors who are also practitioners [and] they give you two sides of the coin to where you're understanding book knowledge, but then you're also understanding practical knowledge.
