ANUC: What is your professional and academic background?

Yuliana Pérez: My career path began very young, at 16, when my aptitude for sales became evident. When I started my studies, I dreamed of working in the financial sector, where I worked for 12 years. However, I always had a passion for teaching, so I pursued a master's degree and diplomas in university teaching. Eight years ago, I entered academia, where I have fulfilled my life's purpose and am very happy. My experience extends beyond academia to include managing academic processes.

ANUC: What are the main objectives and goals for the program?

Yuliana Pérez: The Business Administration program at the Ubaté campus faces a significant challenge to become more competitive. We are in the process of renewing our Qualified Registration and have begun the Self-Evaluation and Accreditation process, within the framework of the MEDIT program. Furthermore, we seek to implement strategies aligned with the business sector and strengthen university and human social responsibility. We aim to develop innovative leaders with an international perspective and expertise in data analytics to meet the demands of the future.

ANUC: How do you envision the relationship between the program and the business sector in the region?

Yuliana Pérez: Business administrators are proactive professionals, prepared to work in diverse areas such as human resources, commerce, finance, and innovation. Our training must be geared towards a competitive and sustainable strategy, with leadership and a global vision. The University of Cundinamarca trains administrators capable of facing current challenges and contributing to the country's business growth, with an international outlook.
