Yes, Python. Even as a business guy I think you'll find some small ways to use programming-- like being a baller with parsing & generating excel spreadsheets.



I would also highly recommend learning Python. It is among the easiest languages to learn, yet is also flexible and powerful enough to do real work of almost any kind. It also has libraries for pretty much everything. Python also lends itself greatly to quick, one off scripting tasks, glueing programs together or otherwise automating stuff you wouldn't normally consider writing a program for, so I agree that you will find plenty of tasks where programming will be helpful, not to mention that understanding some programming concepts will help you better understand what other people, eg, on your team, are doing.
