Local entrepreneur and technologist Owen Cutajar is the first Isle of Man based professional to be offered entry to Seth Godin’s altMBA program.

The altMBA program was founded in 2015 by author and entrepreneur Godin, and is a four-week online management and leadership workshop.

The program allows only 100 students per session, requiring an intensive application process. Alumni include executives from Google, Coca-Cola, Kickstarter, Red Cross and more.

“I’ve been a fan of Seth Godin’s work for many years”, Owen told us. “He’s a best-selling author, thinker and marketer who has inspired me in more ways than one.”

“The altMBA was created as a program that focuses on coaching and learning by doing. Designed to be hands-on, we’ll be delivering 13 projects in a 4 week sprint, balancing this undertaking with a full-time job and family commitments. It’s going to be intense, but a fantastic growth opportunity”, he said.

Owen’s session begins mid-April. Thus far, students from 27 countries and 35 industries have participated in the program and he’s pleased that he can add the Isle of Man to the list. More information and application into the program’s next session can be found at altMBA.com.
