In informal meetings led by former president Carlos Lleras Restrepo and Dr. Hernán Echavarría Olózaga, educators, political leaders, and businesspeople contributed ideas to create a first-level business administration school. With the support of the Asociación Nacional de Industriales (ANDI) and the Instituto Colombiano de Administración (INCOLDA), CESA was established as a private, non-profit educational institution. As of the source's account, CESA has produced nearly 4,500 graduates of the business administration program and almost 5,800 postgraduate graduates, who together have created around 300 companies generating more than 15,000 jobs.
