Voices from the past 15 years Marco Proto Student Board President 2010/11 «I learned from the Student Board that trust goes both ways. On one hand a leader needs to be available at all times and have a good general overview, and creating trust is paramount, but doing that requires substantial personal sacrifice, and sometimes making very unpopular decisions. But as a leader you don’t have to always be alone; you can have a great team and trusted advisors to support you in making tough choices, and you’re safe leaving many decisions to team leaders.»
Lorraine Jorquera Student Board President 2002/03 «Being the Student Board President helped me connect with a lot of people and taught me how to get messages across to many different audiences. This was very helpful when working abroad in Paris during my CEMS internship or studying in Barcelona at ESADE. It opened my horizons and gave me the confidence to learn about new skills, theories and ideas as well as trying them out. Knowing and dealing with a whole network of students, alumni and corporate and academic partners was great experience and also lots of fun.»
Dominik Bold Student Board Representative 2013/14 «I think during my time on the student board we pushed a variety of good initiatives, amongst them were projects driven by my team but also many others. If I had to chose one I would pick the Benchmarking Report on Corporate Partner interaction. I believe that the cooperation with our corporate partners and also pro-bono partners is one of the biggest assets that we can provide the CEMS students with. Therefore it was always my goal to foster and further develop these relationships.»
