Imperial APAC Alumni Network

The Imperial APAC Alumni Network was launched in June 2025 for UK-based Imperial students and alumni from APAC, APAC alumni relocating to the United Kingdom, and alumni allies with an interest in the APAC community.

The goals of the network are:

To connect APAC alumni across generations and build a vibrant community.
To support members through a culturally attuned space for well-being, belonging, and peer support.
To help members grow by empowering APAC talent to thrive in their careers through mentorship and industry-focused events.

The Network is led by a committee of alumni volunteers, who organise activities including monthly informal meet-ups, quarterly career or social events, and an ongoing presence across community channels such as LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Instagram.

More details can be found our official webpage.

Motivation and Inspiration:

I believe alliances shape outcomes. In global finance, networks amplify capability and create access to opportunity. I’m motivated to help build a connected, forward-thinking and globally minded APAC community in the UK - one that shares insight, strengthens influence, and supports its members in leading with confidence across industries and markets.

Motivation and inspiration:

I came to the UK 10 years ago as a wide-eyed student, unsure of how to navigate a new environment and, more importantly, unsure of who to ask. I've always longed for a community of people who share similar cultural backgrounds and understand the challenges of building a life here. After attending a single IAAN session, the VC Roundtable, I immediately reached out to volunteer, because I knew this was it: the community I'd been looking for all along.

I'm motivated to bring a fresh, student perspective and do my part in shaping IAAN into a space that connects those still navigating challenges with the kind-hearted people who've walked similar paths and are willing to help. I feel a strong sense of belonging here, and I hope to help create that same feeling for many others like me.

Motivation and Inspiration:

There's an idea that you become the average of the 10 people you surround yourself with, and when you have a goal, it's far easier to surround yourself with the right community than to rely on discipline alone. I believe development and community matter at every stage of life. By organising events with this committee, I want to bring people together, expand their circle and spark inspiration.

Motivation and Inspiration:

I’ve benefited from the generosity of forerunners throughout my career, and I’m committed to paying that kindness forward - help others break through information barriers, turn “unknowns” into clarity, and make opportunity more accessible. I believe in culture add - bringing the best of different perspectives together - and I aim to be a trusted communication bridge between East and West. In a world shaped by fast-growing technologies, this bridge matters more than ever: it helps people learn faster and collaborate better.
