The Alums came calling!

Every year the Career Development Team at SoM hold various events. This year they began early with the current students getting an opportunity to hear from five alums who joined together to share their perspectives on different experiences.
The Alumni Evening is sectoral based and tonight it was Finance / Banking / Insurance. The lecture theatre was packed to capacity signifying the keen interest in the careers of alumni. We had five distinguished alumni who shared their Cranfield MBA experiences and how they have shaped their careers since.
Mr Ian Drew, an alum from the 1983 batch of Cranfield MBAs, shared his views on how we should be approaching the post-MBA career path. He retired in 2003 as Board member & Chief Credit Officer of UBS Investment Bank and is among the most distinguished alumni of Cranfield.
Stella Donoghue (2000) expressed her insightful views with a liberal dose of wit and humour. She is now a Portfolio Finance Director of her own venture. We also heard from Bill Toong (2003), Gary Innes (2002) and Jason Downer (2002).
Following the talks, everyone flooded the forum to interact with the alumni and to put specific queries, etc. It was a very useful evening and we all look forward to similar events that will be taking place in the coming months!
