I want to do an Executive MBA.
Objective:
I want to work in Latin America, (Mexico, Panama, Colombia, Peru or Chile) either as an employee or as an entrepreneur.
I am 40 years old and have a background as a teacher, consultant, project manager, and entrepreneur.
However, my career has not been everything I wanted it to be, that's why I want the EMBA.
I am looking for brand power, internationalization, networking and above all a powerful career service
Options until now:
Plan A: IE and I have no doubts. its mixed methodology is perfect for me, but the price is high for my context of life.
Plan B: EADA and Chapman from FIU (Miami)
What do you think and what do you advise me?
Do you consider other schools?
Executive MBA, Florida Vs Europe?

I assume that you are able to write and speak Spanish at a high professional level.
Few organisations will hire for Latin America in Spain or Miami. You should research these different countries and pick the leading school in that country. For example, that would mean Egade in Mexico, Incae in central America, UAI in Chile, etc.

In practice, your criteria are counterpoised: you need to choose between a school that is highly internationalised (the alumni network is spread thinly over many countries) or able to support career placement extensively in whichever country you come to focus on. The only partial exceptions are the Cornell America's MBA which is a viable option of you are in Colombia, and the IESE partner school in Brazil.

Thank you Duncan,
I like your style and I was waiting for your opinion.
My native language is Spanish, and my wife and kids are colombo-germans....and no, I don´t speak german.
That is why I thought of IE, since perhaps it opens the doors of several countries .... Latin America, Europe and perhaps Florida
In Latin America, business schools are only strong in their own country, except perhaps for Tec de Monterrey (EGADE)
Besides IE and EGADE do you consider any other school? maybe tier 2
By the way IESE is great
but I think its program is not blended (50% online 50%in situ).....
I need a blended program or with few face-to-face sessions due to my business
Cornell is great too, but is too expensive and
it is not profitable for the salaries of the region
In Latin America, international education is highly valued, especially the USA, Spain, France and UK. If a powerful career service is added to this, I would think that a professional would have a great asset
I already had conversations with IE and they have invited me to participate in their admission process, because they like my CV, but as a plan b I would like to know what opinion they have about EADA and about Chapman FIU

I think targeting one school across the whole region is suboptimal. Focus on one country.
