CORAL SPRINGS, Fla., Oct. 5, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Andrew K. Davies, CEO of SPOL, a South Florida-based technology company specializing in institutional effectiveness software for higher education, has recently graduated from Wharton Executive Education's General Management Program at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.
Over his career, Mr. Davies has applied his entrepreneurial acumen to founding several successful business ventures and startups in education. Advocating the value of continuing education, Mr. Davies said, "Attending Wharton's GMP has been an amazing journey that has transformed my understanding of business management while providing me with a clear pathway for continued professional development. Wharton has given me the opportunity to learn from some of the best minds in higher education while collaborating with other business leaders from around the world."
As part of Wharton's Aresty Institute of Executive Education, the General Management Program provides a distinguished academic environment for senior-level executives, personalized to suit their experience and career goals, according to Wharton Professor Jagmohan S. Raju, who is Vice Dean of Wharton Executive Education.
"The General Management program is a unique innovation in the Executive Education space, not just for Wharton, but for the entire executive education industry," says Professor Raju. "It's so wonderful to see senior-level executives such as Andrew Davies become an integral part of the Wharton alumni community, contribute to our programs, and also learn from the Wharton family."
Leaders who attend continuing education programs are not only better positioned for personal growth but are also equipped to affect change in their organizations.

He said, "Executive education programs get students out of their silos and into the fray of the trends that are shaping their roles, their organizations, and their industries."
"I would strongly encourage other senior executives to invest in their continuing education. It will help them make better decisions, rewarding customers, employees, and other stakeholders," said Mr. Davies.
