What's your fondest memory of WAB?
Being a part of the APAC football team that created history by winning 5 APAC tournaments in a row (was the longest streak till 2017, not sure if that has been broken since then). Winning that fifth tournament at WAB with the support from all the fans was a very special feeling!
Please share a story on how you are still making a difference today.
I'm involved with helping former and current students from WAB, Aalto, and London Business School to apply for Master’s programs as well as internship or full-time opportunities in finance, especially in private equity secondaries. I had multiple calls with prospective applicants to LBS and LGT Capital Partners over the past few years.
