For the third year in a row the SSE MBA Corporate Partners Scholarship has been awarded to a top-talent nominated by the Corporate Partners of the Stockholm School of Economics. The scholarship covers the full program fee of the SSE MBA Executive Format degree program, with a value of SEK 465.000.

“The purpose of the scholarship is to promote executive education and leadership development among our next generation of leaders. It is also a way to say thank you to our generous Corporate Partners”, says Karin Wiström, Stockholm School of Economics.

Candidates to the scholarship are high-potential managers with an entrepreneurial spirit and a proven record of successful leadership. The recipient of the scholarship is expected to contribute to the Corporate Partner organization by bringing best practices and new tools and ideas back into the business and become a leader who works more effectively with a strategic and holistic understanding of the organization.

The SSE MBA Corporate Partners Scholarship 2015 is awarded to 30-year old Jenny Keisu, with the following motivation:
“Jenny is very ambitious, yet modest. She has already accomplished major achievements and has an impressive career. She is the youngest to become a lawyer in Sweden, and is appointed General Counsel and Director for a global large cap private equity fund.
The new perspectives, insights and knowledge she will gain from the SSE MBA have the potential to successfully take her on to even more senior roles in the future and have a strong business impact. With her legal background, experience and strong drive, Jenny will also contribute greatly to the SSE MBA program and cohort.”
