The ETA track - investing in you, with Leonardo Palú (Global Executive MBA Class of 2025)
During the Global Executive MBA at Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM), participants can choose a unique track: Entrepreneurship Through Acquisition (ETA). It’s designed for future CEOs who want to lead an existing company, rather than start one from scratch.
In this episode, we speak with Leonardo Palú, a recent graduate from the Global Executive MBA Class of 2025. Leonardo took a bold step by launching a search fund in Brazil – a courageous career pivot that marks the beginning of his journey to acquire and lead a business. He’s just completed the fundraising phase and is now actively searching for the right company. We explore:
- What the ETA track offers
- What his experience has been like so far
- And how he envisions himself stepping into the CEO role.
As Leonardo puts it:
“They’re not just investors, they’re invested in you.”
🎧 Listen to the full episode to find out more about this alternative path to entrepreneurship.
