As Executive Director of the Master in Sports Management at IE Business School, I am the responsible of the operations and logistics of the program.
My role is to help the students to spend the 13 month-program as smooth as possible providing them all the information they need, all the documents and the reading material they have to prepare for each subject, and I am also the contact between them and their professors.
I am also in charge of searching new professors for the specialized courses and responsible for helping them to organize their courses and work in an online environment with our international students.
Within my tasks one of the most exciting it is to develop and prepare the face to face period in London, putting together conferences with international experts in Sport Management, visits to companies and to sport facilities, and classes with our specialized professors.

A master's degree from an internationally renowned business school, with a specialization in an area where few people are able to demonstrate industry-specific education, is recognized as a key differentiating factor among job candidates. We have created a stimulating learning environment, bringing together a world-class international faculty of experts and sports leaders with a highly-qualified group of students.
The complete learning experience during the Master in Sports Management is designed to equip and prepare professionals for success in the business of sports. The program provides a solid foundation in core management whilst meeting the needs of the sports industry.
IE Business School has a world class faculty or more that 110 full-time professors and 250 associate professors, educators, researchers and consultants with highly varied personal and professional profiles who will guide students to develop their full potential from different angles and perspectives. Having considerable industry experience in some of the world's leading sport corporations and being engaged in consulting projects and other activities, the faculty remains in constant touch with new business developments.
IE´s innovative format allows you to follow the program regardless of your geographic location and avoids interrupting your professional obligations for extended periods of time. Lasting 13 months and starting in February, the program is divided into two rigorous online periods with three intensive face-to-face periods lasting between one and two weeks.
IE Business School has made a firm commitment to the development of online training programs and modules.
In the IE e-learning model the professor plays a pivotal role in guiding the student's development. It is also essential that the participant adopt a proactive attitude that will make him/her the real protagonist of the program thanks to a highly participative methodology based on intensive communication, which ensures motivation and commitment at every stage.
The online training portfolio features a broad range of masters programs, in-company programs, open programs and multimedia materials.
These programs and materials are constantly updated with a view to offering a high-calibre e-learning model. The IE model has received awards for online content from international institutions, including the Excellence in E-learning Award, and the EFMD Multimedia Case Award.

“IE is the first top European business school to offer a specialized Master in sports management in a format suitable for the working executive. I chose IE because it offers quality education and an unbeatable online learning method-- it is actually hard to believe this is 'distance' learning, as the interactivity with the professors and classmates online is extremely engaging! The course material is very relevant to the business and I found it to be applicable to my work right from the start.”
