Testimonials
For more than 60 years, the partnership between the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors and The Ohio State University has stood as a cornerstone of leadership development in the distribution industry. The Distribution Leadership Program is not only one of our longest-running collaborations, it is one of our most trusted and impactful.
What makes this program enduring is its ability to evolve. It brings together timeless leadership principles with the modern realities our members face, from supply chain complexity to emerging technologies. Our members return to this program year after year because it delivers not just knowledge, but perspective, confidence, and a network that lasts well beyond the classroom.
I chose to pursue my Executive MBA at Ohio State because one thing I learned as an undergraduate is that despite its size, Ohio State can feel quite personal. It really has the best of both worlds: the resources and opportunities that come with a large research institution, and the personal touch of a much smaller school.
Fisher College of Business Executive Education has been one of the most impactful learning experiences of my career. Leading digital transformation at DHL Supply Chain means navigating rapid shifts in technology—especially the rise of AI. Three of the programs I completed focused specifically on artificial intelligence, and each one reshaped how I view its role in leadership, strategy, and operational excellence.
Fisher’s Executive Education programs didn’t just teach me about AI—they elevated how I lead through change, communicate vision, and support the development of others. The experience strengthened my ability to guide teams through evolving technologies while staying focused on people, impact, and long-term value.
