Led by EMBA Global Asia alumnus, Hani Tohme, who will serve as the Inaugural President, this Middle East Alumni Network will serve as a strong signal of our business school’s growing and strategic presence in this dynamic region.

The Inaugural Executive Committee proudly also includes our successful and devoted alumni, Milind Taneja, Betty Tsai, Govind Gautam, Anupam Sehgal, Peter Brady, Stephen Wu and Maksim Nelepa.

Special thanks to Mr. Leo Poon, Deputy Director at the HKETO, for officiating the kick-off ceremony.

With a current alumni base of approximately 50 in the region, which is constantly and consistently rising, it is our pleasure to create this new platform for our community to connect, engage, and collaborate with each other in the United Arab Emirates for years to come.

Kudos to Prof. Gedeon Lim for His Insightful Research on Inter-Ethnic Relations!
We’re happy to share that the article Prof. Gedeon Lim contributed to, titled "How does interacting with other ethnicities shape political attitudes?" has been published on VoxDev! In this research, it examines how living near resettlement sites for ethnic minorities in Malaysia can shift political preferences. His findings reveal that closer proximity not only improves economic outcomes but also fosters casual interactions in shared public spaces. VoxDev serves as a vital platform for economists, policymakers, and practitioners to discuss key development issues, making expert insights accessible to a wide audience. Join us in exploring Prof. Lim’s contributions to understanding how inter-ethnic contact can drive positive social change! Read more here: https://bit.ly/3Cu2938
