"My response was strong when I first contacted San Telmo more than 20 years ago and I decided to send my executive team to join the DEA Program. I joined as well a few years later, first as a participant and as a lecturer later. I am fully convinced that San Telmo has successfully developed an unparalleled agri-food education project in any Business School in the world”.
