Daniel about the meaning of Montanya

'Montanya' derives from the old Spanish word for mountains. Our executive MBA program began at a place named Montanya, inspiring self-reflection and meaningful connections. As I recently started this new career chapter, the name resonates with my passion for sustainability and mountains, representing an exhilarating adventure. Climbing mountains requires a spirit of exploration and ambition, which I aspire to carry forward and want to share with Montanya's clients.
