Erica Dias, MBA
Santiago is a born leader. I've had the opportunity to observe him in many capacities during our shared time in the MBA program at William Jessup University. He is a collaborative and driven individual. He created new programs to benefit current and future students. He garnered top tier CEOs to speak on campus and engendered support from all cohorts to participate in legacy events to drive brand awareness and outreach efforts for the WJU MBA. He exhibits no fear in trying new things and communicates extremely well in keeping everyone informed when blazing new trails. Other leaders are drawn to his personable style and his humble yet confident attitude makes for a great experience for those working side by side. In a program full of experienced professionals, he's earned the respect of his colleagues, professors and community. He is an excellent choice for leading in complex environments, areas where relationships need to be forged and fosters and where innate leadership skills are critical. I highly recommend him and am happy to share additional information if needed.
