Alumni Profiles: Lisa Long (MBA’06J)
Startups and Zombies Things turned out much better than I could have imagined. I was supposed to follow in the footsteps of my family – leave university, get an advanced degree, and then enter a nice stable job with a large company. Or… I could spend spring break sleeping on the floor of my sister’s…

Alumni Profiles: Jim Strang (AMP’17Jul)
Keep going and keep growing… So, as my father once said to me, “Son, if you ever write an autobiography you should call it -The Path of Most Resistance.” My personal journey to INSEAD was not a particularly obvious one. For one thing, I enrolled when I was 46, which happens to be the same…

Alumni Profiles: Kate Ellis (MBA’91D)
Business as a force for good INSEAD opens up choices and I chose variety: in the 27 years since I left Fontainebleau my career has taken me to many different workplaces, including car assembly lines, oil tankers, trading floors, prisons (though never overnight…) and now some of the world’s largest nuclear installations. Always surrounded by…

Alumni Profiles: Daniela Mordetzki (MBA’17D)
The six months since graduating from INSEAD have passed by in no time, and I’m still a bit surprised to call myself an alumna. With the whirlwind of the experience still close, I’m just starting to define this new chapter, finding my feet in a new role and exploring what it means to be part…

Alumni Profiles: Tom Rogers MBA 08D
Enrolling at INSEAD I think I had one of the less conventional profiles. I grew up in Edinburgh, left school aged 17 (you can do that in Scotland and still apply to university) and then worked as a bicycle courier before enrolling at a UK music conservatoire to study Jazz. My music teacher at the…

Alumni Profiles: Emma Goltz (MBA’98J)
In July, it will be twenty years since I graduated from INSEAD with the 98J promotion. We are the promotion who went on strike when they announced the opening of a new campus in Singapore – how times changed! Since then, I have lived on two continents, changed careers several times, had three children, and…

Alumni Profiles: Peter M Felix CBE (MBA 73)
On looking back over a pretty long career I see myself as a corporate nomad. My international “itch” was first generated by voluntary service work in Bangladesh (then East Pakistan) after graduating with a degree in Sociology and Law. This was subsequently fed by sojourns in Paris (post INSEAD), Algeria, New York and Hong Kong, in…
