Hi All,
Here we go with the age old question, "Do I need an MBA to be a CEO?". Here is my background, BS, MS and PhD in Electrical Engineering (BS & MS from Umass Amherst, PhD from VirginiaTech). I am 32, but have almost 9 years of work experience. I got my graduate degrees while I was working, and I was fortunate enough that all my employers picked up my educational tab. My previous employer really helped me grow professionally, they moved me from top of the technical individual contributor level to a manager to Director level in 2.5 years. Then a medium-sized technology company picked me up this March as a CTO, my end goal is to either be a CEO at this place or start my own company. Having said that, would an MBA help me get to where I want to go faster? If an MBA does help, which one should I get (MBA vs. EMBA) and what specialization?
Thank You,
San.

Congrats on your career growth - you have done great - why pause or change strategy?
A few folks have done research and looked at trends of MBA vs. No MBA for CEO's and what makes a CEO. There are also there are stories of Amazon or Microsoft which were started by smart technical/business people without an MBA.
With your level of education I don't think you need an MBA, unless you have spent your career in tech only. In that case, you will look lopsided and may need to offset it with something else (at the same time if it is a tech company, it may not be a bad thing).
If you do need additional business exposure, I would definitely focus on EMBA as I don't see how you could take 1-2 years off and then join a company as a CEO fresh out of business school.... i can see combining work and EMBA at the same time gunning for the top spot, but you will have to restart if you go full time.
My 2 cents.

bb,
Thank you for your inputs. I am not changing my strategy, I will not take time off from work to go get an MBA. Ideally I would like to work full time while I am getting an MBA, and learn and apply theory while building the business and creating new products. Our current CEO has BS an MS in engineering and an MBA, he is a great business leader. While I support him technically, I find some of the things he does a little strange and takes me time to understand. I am thinking of an MBA to really understand the money flow in the business and how to optimize its flow while running a successful tech company.
