About the School

Alumni Advisory Board

AKSOB proudly launched its Alumni Advisory Board in 2025, bringing together a distinguished group of alumni leaders from across business, technology, finance, healthcare, media, entrepreneurship, and the nonprofit sector. United by a shared commitment to their alma mater, board members contribute global perspectives, industry expertise, and strategic insight to support the school’s continued growth and relevance.

Serving as a strategic advisory body, the Board helps strengthen AKSOB’s mission by fostering meaningful connections between academia and industry, advancing student success, and supporting the school’s priorities in innovation, employability, digital transformation, and global engagement.

Through mentorship, thought leadership, advocacy, and collaboration, the Board plays an important role in shaping a future-focused business school that prepares graduates to lead with purpose, drive positive impact, and thrive in an evolving global landscape.
