Meet Tom Larsen

 

“The key to what I do is ensuring that students leverage their EMBA to maximize not only their career goals but also their personal ambitions — be it super-charging their career in their existing organization or finally pursuing their life’s passion, I am there to support, guide and coach them on their path to success.”

Tom Larsen

Director, Executive MBA Career and Leadership Development
Tom has been developing leaders for over 25 years, bringing to UCLA Anderson his executive experience with Oliver Wyman and McKinsey & Company.

“I came to Anderson knowing I wanted to make a career switch and I immediately felt supported and set up to succeed in reaching my career goals. The one-on-one career coaching and career workshops have made me more polished, and I see the change among my classmates as well. The EMBA program is a disrupter: because of all the new experiences and interactions, your feelings about your capabilities will propel you to reach new heights that may not have been on your radar before joining the program.”
