This past Saturday, HKU Business School was warmly hosted by Simon Chan, the Director-General of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Dubai (a proud HKU alumnus) for a lunch gathering in Dubai.  We were delighted to be joined by eight outstanding HKU Business School alumni from across the Middle East region. Four members of the HKU Business School Middle East Alumni Network’s Executive Committee led the alumni community’s representation at this occasion, including President Hani Tohme, Vice-President Milind Taneja, Speaker Chair Peter Brady, and Publicity and Marketing Chair Maksim Nelepa. Simon’s lovely wife (a former HKU staff member) also attended the gathering.

Alongside them were four additional distinguished alumni holding senior leadership roles in consulting, food & beverage, real estate, and alternative investments. The afternoon was filled with engaging conversations, shared memories, and the warmth of the HKUBS community.  A heartfelt thank you to our gracious HKETO Dubai hosts for bringing everyone together and creating such a memorable experience. Fond memories like these truly strengthen the bonds within our overseas alumni networks, as well as deepening our alumni’s lifelong connections with Hong Kong.
