CBS Alumni Update #3

Celebrating the global mindset

Did you know that the largest community of CBS alumni outside Denmark is located in the United States? Using LinkedIn data we have visualized where you, our alumni, live and work around the world. Take a look!

In this issue, you can meet one of the many alumni who practices international management on a daily basis. One of CBS’ top professors recommends relevant reading on the subject of international management.

You can also find out why CBS faculty attended Roskilde Festival (spoiler: it was not for the music). And enjoy a portrait of one of the oldest CBS alumni associations CIBA, or formerly Udenrigshandelsklubben, celebrating their 40-year anniversary – it all started in the 1970's behind the Iron Curtain...

Need good advice on foreign markets? Then look up your fellow alumni in CBS Alumni’s LinkedIn group. More than 4,000 of our 18,000 members are located abroad.

Helene Brøndholt Nielsen, Head of Alumni Relations
