FBI Continues Partnership With NPS EMBA Program

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) employees and NPS Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) graduates, from left, Rachele Salvo, Kristin Koscielny, David Marmo and Adam Rhodes, are pictured in the Herrmann Hall Tower Room, April 6. Satisfied with the efforts of this initial cohort, the FBI has elected to continue its relationship with the university's EMBA program, with the next cohort of personnel already underway.
"I started talking to [FBI Chief Finance Officer] Richard Haley about these programs almost three years ago, and we have been developing this relationship ever since," said Graduate School of Business and Public Policy Dean Dr. Bill Gates. "So it's been a long time in development, but it's very exciting to see the first FBI cohort come through the program, with the second already underway."
Haley, who leads the FBI's Finance Division, attended the first cohort's graduation in late March.
"This is just the start … I'm watching this whole thing go full circle," said Haley. "From a conversation and a handshake two-and-a-half years ago through all of their hard work, training, and how they extended gratitude to their co-workers for picking up their slack as they went through the program, now to the culmination of them graduating, makes it all worthwhile."
