CBS has been a defining part of my professional journey for more than 20 years. I’ve had the privilege of serving the School in a variety of leadership roles over that time, working alongside extraordinary colleagues and engaging with generations of alumni who continue to shape industries and communities around the world. As an EMBA ’13 alum, this community is also deeply personal to me.

I’m especially energized to build on that foundation in this new role strengthening connections across our global alumni network, listening closely, and creating more opportunities for meaningful engagement. I believe deeply in the power of this community to support one another, open doors, and stay connected in ways that matter. Hope you all will use this platform to share your news and stories! - Marilena Botoulas EMBA '13
