    IMD’s Global Alumni Network

    The IMD Alumni Network is a close-knit global community. We aim to support and accelerate the leadership journey of participants beyond their engagement with our programs by creating value around two focus areas – lifelong learning and powerful business networks.

    The IMD Alumni Network has a unique make-up of predominately senior leaders, business executives and board members – leaders who transform organizations and contribute to society. Our alumni have impressive corporate career trajectories and favor bold choices and entrepreneurial mindsets.
