126 graduates from the MBA and Executive MBA programs completed their academic journey in a hybrid event with connections from Medellín, Miami, and various parts of the world.
On Thursday, April 10, Westfield Business School proudly celebrated the graduation of its 61st Class in a hybrid event that brought together students, families, faculty, and institutional leaders from across the globe.
The ceremony featured the physical presence of 52 graduates in Medellín and 10 in Miami, accompanied by their loved ones, while the remaining graduates joined virtually from countries spanning from the United States to Japan—reflecting the global and inclusive nature of the Westfield community.
This graduating class included 78 MBA graduates and 48 Executive MBA graduates, reaffirming the institution’s commitment to high-impact executive education. The ceremony marked the beginning of a new chapter, where graduates will carry their leadership into the real world, guided by values of sustainability, innovation, and social impact.
The keynote address was delivered by Tsahala David, an entrepreneur, psychologist, former officer in the Israeli army, and now a global sales consultant. She shared a deeply personal story filled with courage, learning, and transformation, concluding with a powerful invitation: “Chase your future with enthusiasm and purpose. Don’t be afraid to change your plans, because sometimes, success lies in simplicity.”
A Story that Inspires: Boris Julián Pérez Pérez
One of the most moving moments of the day was the recognition of Boris Julián Pérez Pérez, an MBA graduate who received the highest academic honors: Summa Cum Laude and the title of Valedictorian. Boris, who is deaf, delivered a message of profound human value and transformative insight:
“This business is not just about money—it’s about recognizing different perspectives, about seeing the world through other eyes, and understanding that sustainability also means contributing to the social impact we can generate.”
His testimony stands as a shining example of personal achievement and a direct call to build more inclusive, conscious, and humane professional environments.
As part of our People, Planet & Profit philosophy, Westfield Business School will plant one tree in the Amazon for each of our graduates, in partnership with Saving the Amazon—a gesture that reaffirms our commitment to generating a positive environmental impact.
At Westfield Business School, we proudly congratulate the 61st Class and wish them success in this new stage of life. We trust that the education they received has awakened their potential to lead real transformations in their communities—promoting a balance between economic development, social well-being, and respect for the planet.
