Imperial College Business School Alumni Network

Last weekend, we held an exciting Admit Weekend for our incoming January MBA admits 🎉 🌎

The weekend included a packed agenda of interactive workshops and engaging sessions, networking opportunities, and evening celebrations with our Imperial community.

On the last day we celebrated all of our admits at The Circle and toasted to this exciting chapter while taking in the panoramic view across the Thames from the eleventh floor. 💫

Here’s to the start of an exciting journey ahead! 🚀

A huge welcome to all of our new students starting at the Business School! 👋🏽 👋🏿 👋🏻 👋

Last month 18 teams from our cohorts at the Business School went head-to-head in our fiercely contested annual football tournament.

It was a day of emotions, passion and energy, with red cards, last minute goals and everything in-between.

In a final worthy of football heritage, MSc Finance and Accounting clinched the coveted trophy from a defensively solid MSc Economics & Strategy for Business team, after a tense penalty shootout.

A heartfelt thank you to our organisers Maria Hayek, Laotan Faji and Professor Jeremy Fernando (aka DJ Money).

Congratulations to the MSc Finance and Accounting team and well done to everyone that joined the tournament to represent their cohort! 👏 👏

"Entrepreneurship is often a behind-the-scenes grind, so being recognised on such a visible and prestigious platform was both humbling and energising." 💬

We recently caught up with alum, Malek Gedeon (MSc Finance 2016) - a Lebanese entrepreneur and the Cofounder of Gedeon Group, a fast-growing company revolutionising fashion retail and distribution across the Middle East and Africa.

Malek was recognised last year on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Middle East list, for his significant contributions to emerging markets. 👏 🌎 💥
