As an Experienced Alumni you get:

  • Lifelong learning: Stay professionally up to date through exclusive seminars and personal invitations to events featuring our academic experts.
  • Academic engagement: Opportunities to contribute as a guest lecturer, mentor, or jury member, strengthening both your own profile and BI’s position in the business community.
  • Global reach: Access a network represented in nearly every corner of the world—ideal for those with international ambitions.
  • BI Business Review: Research insights and articles delivered directly to your inbox.

Become a mentor

By sharing your knowledge as a mentor, board member, or participant in programme advisory councils, you not only help others grow but also broaden your own understanding of emerging trends and new generations.

Why become a mentor?

This is an opportunity to give back to the academic community while also developing your own leadership skills:

  • Promote diversity: Help shape and inspire the talents of tomorrow.
  • Gain new perspectives: Gain insight into the interests, ambitions, and challenges of today’s students and future workforce.
  • Expand your network: Become part of a professional network of mentors and resource people connected to BI.
Your role as a mentor

The programme runs for one year, and we are looking for individuals who want to serve as both an inspiration and a trusted sounding board. Through regular meetings, you will help the student with:

  • Connecting academic theory to real-world business practice.
  • Reflecting on career choices and areas of specialization.
  • Bridging the gap between studies and a first job or further master's studies.
Would you like to contribute?

We are looking for professionals with a few years of industry experience who are passionate about guiding and supporting others.
