How far would you go for your goals?

For Sri Addanki, Executive MBA ’26, the answer is 595 miles, the distance of his weekly flight from Miami to Atlanta. That’s 1,190 miles every weekend while balancing a demanding career, coursework, and life at home with a newborn daughter. It isn’t easy, but Sri says the impact of the Executive MBA program on his work and the clarity it has given him about his future make every trip worthwhile.

Just as important is the support system behind him. Sri credits his family for helping make the journey possible, proving that pursuing an MBA is rarely a solo effort.
