EGMiM staff and students get together for anniversary celebrations
The Executive Global Master’s in Management (EGMiM) marked its 10-year anniversary by welcoming their 10th cohort of students this year.
Designed to be LSE’s alternative to an MBA, the first EGMiM class started in 2012, forming the inaugural class of 2014. The programme was set up by Professor Paul Willman, the first Programme Director, and Professor Saul Estrin, the then Head of Department. The class of 2021 will graduate in November this year, bringing the number of EGMiM alums around the world to approximately 270.
Naufel Vilcassim, Head of Department said: “We are delighted to be celebrating this milestone with EGMiM. As the Department’s first solely LSE awarded executive master’s, it has become an integral part of our portfolio and it’s been very rewarding to see what our alums go on to achieve.”
The EGMiM community is a diverse one, comprising of 67 nationalities from a range of professional backgrounds including finance and management consulting, family run businesses, entrepreneurship, medicine, law, and engineering. Some of the more unique professional backgrounds have included a recording artist, a pilot, and a CIA Officer.
Saul Estrin, who teaches on the programme, said: “It has been a honour to see this path-breaking programme grow and evolve to reach this important milestone anniversary. I have loved teaching on it, and especially getting to know so many brilliant people who are now part of a thriving student and alumni community.”
As well as our London based modules, teaching has run in four overseas locations: Singapore, Istanbul, Beijing and Bangalore, thus forging longstanding relationships with international institutions with the likes of Koç Business School, National University of Singapore, Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, Peking University and Tsinghua University.
EGMiM graduates have gone on to be excel in an array of sectors; whether it be gaining more senior leadership positions, setting up their own ventures, or going into business with classmates. We hope to see an inaugural Alumni Module run in summer 2022, which was previously postponed from 2020 due to COVID.
