December 2018 Newsletter

December 2018

As you head into the final days of 2018, we want to thank you for your interest, enthusiasm, and support to make AIESEC Life a strong and viable alumni association.  This was the year we celebrated our 10th anniversary and we are thankful to each and every AIESEC alum who laid the groundwork to establish this incredible organization.  And to those of you who serve as BOA members, volunteer as mentors to LC members, keep our Hub cities running, attend our events and contribute to our fundraising efforts - we are truly grateful.  With your continued involvement and assistance, we know we will grow and thrive for another 10 years. 

Best wishes for a peaceful, productive and healthy 2019.
Maggie Gisel, Executive Director, and the AIESEC Life Team

Karina R. Jensen, an AIESEC alum from San Jose (‘90), is the author of the book Leading Global Innovation as well as Professor of Global Innovation and Leadership and the Practice Director at the Centre for Leadership and Effective Organizations at NEOMA Business School in France.  She is also the Managing Director and Founder of Global Minds Network, a consultancy focused on global innovation and cross-cultural collaboration.  Karina has spent her professional career helping companies be successful in international markets. When she observed that many companies fail in international expansion or product launches, she set out to develop a new framework and solutions which take into account today’s international, multicultural and digitally connected world.
