IE University Celebrates Alumni Summit Americas 2026 in Mexico City

IE University held the Alumni Summit Americas 2026 in Mexico City on November 6 and 7. The participants, alumni of the institution who hold senior leadership positions across the region, discussed the challenges they face in a world transformed by geopolitics and technology, shared best practices, and strengthened their global network.

The sessions featured senior executives from companies such as Google, Rappi, and Aeroméxico, who shared their perspectives on the keys to leadership, the potential of the entrepreneurial ecosystem, adapting global strategy to local realities, and the evolving profile and needs of customers in the region.

Inés Drieselmann, Vice President of Alumni & Careers at IE University, highlighted during her remarks the value of a community with more than 90,000 alumni in 180 countries and the importance of strengthening the network beyond the academic stage: "The Alumni Summits allow us to keep learning from one another and to strengthen the relationships that begin at IE. Our community brings together highly diverse experiences and perspectives, and that richness becomes opportunity when we share knowledge and support one another throughout our careers." 

Marcos Ramírez Amoretti, Director of IE University in Mexico, said: "Mexico is a key country for IE University in the Americas. Our graduates lead companies that connect the region with the United States and the world, driving the innovation and talent the country needs. This Summit is an example of our commitment to the region."

With the aim of strengthening the global network of its alumni, IE University held the Alumni Summit Middle East & Africa 2026 a few weeks ago in Cairo. The event featured the participation of Khaled Hashem, Egypt’s Minister of Industry and an IE University alumnus, among other figures.

The global events agenda will continue with the Global Alumni Weekend 2027, which will bring together alumni from around the world from June 11 to 13 at IE Tower, IE University’s headquarters in Madrid.
