Alumni Top Management Club Celebrates a Decade of Existence

More than 80 IE Alumni from various cohorts gather at the Paper Pavillion to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Alumni Top Management Club with live violin music and cocktails.

The Alumni Top Management Club was founded in 2016 "to promote an everlasting relationship among the members of the IE community, facilitating a common platform of business, career development and lifelong learning opportunities, with the objective to propel personal and professional development of IE students and alumni." The club organizes events such as masterclasses and social outings, allowing for networking amongst professionals coming out of IE. 

Old and new members, as well as special guests and friends of the club, gathered at the Paper Pavillion in the early evening hours for a cocktail celebration of the club's first decade of existence under the slogan "10 Years of History".

The creators of the club, Lisa Wang, Begoña de la Torre Fernandez de Moya and Francisco Ramirez Soto, greeted the guests and thanked them for the support and membership of the club. A special accent was placed on the club's role as "an opportunity to do more than network, but share humane experiences."

"This club is about you, and it is your participation that binds and connects you and us," said De la Torre.

While at its core a birthday party, this event doubled as a chance for networking, announcement of plans for 2027, and idea-generation for upcoming events. Members' contributions were highlighted as the life force of the club.

 "I was unfamiliar with all the work of the club, but I find the initiative to be very interesting," said a Bachelor in Business Administration alum Antonio Martin.

Speakers thanked the Global Alumni Relations department for their commitment in helping the club run and convert ideas into reality.

In the words of De la Torre, the Club, which will soon open voting for a change in name to better reflect its character, is a chance for former IE students to build "friendships on top of professional relationships."
