HHL is an institution that shares some of my core values as a scholar. It builds the connection between academic scholarship, theoretical development, and real world practice. That is one of the hallmarks of a business school.

17 years after graduation at HHL, I still profit from our network. The time together and identical roots quickly bond even fresh acquaintances. I always love to visit HHL again to share the students’ amazing spirit and energy. My favourite event is the Accelerate@HHL conference.
