A Japanese national with long-standing ties to China, Shuko Anzai (Global EMBA 2020) has been instrumental in establishing the China branch of SPEEDA, an offshoot of Uzabase. We asked him about his CEIBS experience, his thoughts on Japan’s evolving business relationship with China, and his growing status as a social media influencer amongst the Japanese expatriate business community.

Early 2021 has been a time of reflection for many, as the severity of the global pandemic recedes and we consider how best to carry on with our lives and careers in the ‘new normal.’  We sat down with Laure-Cecile Lafond-Fenonjoie to find out what it is like working as a brand strategist and entrepreneur in China and why now was the right time to join our Global EMBA programme.

On Saturday 29th May, 44 students and alumni from the Global EMBA community met on campus for a reunion of the Class Committee Team (CCT) Union.

On 15 May 2021, graduates from Global EMBA classes reaching as far back as 1999 met at CEIBS Beijing campus for a Beijing Alumni Reunion. 150 alumni gathered to meet old classmates and friends, make new connections within the alumni community, relive their Global EMBA experience and see for themselves what the programme’s future looks like.
