She said: "one of our strengths, as a School, is the strong links that tie our alumni together. I'm delighted to get this opportunity, not just to greet our graduates, but also to give something back to them, in the way of cutting edge research and informed debate on the future of business. Above all, I'm looking forward to chatting to our alums, and seeing how their experience at the School has coloured their careers since then!"
