The Johnson Cornell Tech MBA offers an accelerated path for professionals who know they want to work where business and technology intersect.
In Episode 121 of The mbaMission Podcast, mbaMission Senior Consultant Harold Simansky and Managing Director Gavriella Semaya welcome Corey Laffel Solon, Gavi’s classmate in the inaugural Johnson Cornell Tech MBA cohort and currently the associate director of growth for Grubhub. Corey and Gavi explain how the program’s Studio curriculum, multidisciplinary teams, practitioner access, and New York City setting prepared them to work across business and technology.
Their experiences also reveal the trade-offs of the one-year format. Cornell Tech can suit professionals who already know they want to pursue technology or technology-adjacent work and who learn best through rapid, hands-on experimentation. Candidates seeking more time to explore industries or build a broader business foundation might prefer a traditional two-year MBA or Cornell’s 1+1 option.
