In this special MBA reunion episode of Leaders Unplugged, IMD President David Bach welcomes
– John Hatch (MBA 1990)
– Kazumi Nakayama (MBA 2015)
– Aurore Amaudruz (MBA 2020)
for an honest, funny, and reflective conversation on what IMD taught them – and how it shaped the leaders they’ve become.
From pandemic pivots to circular economy lookouts, the three alumni explore how IMD’s emphasis on self-leadership, global perspective, and shared values continues to influence their careers. “I provide a secure base for the team I work with,” says Amaudruz. “That’s what IMD brought me.” Adds Nakayma: “My perspective matters. That was a discovery.”
And Hatch, now a sustainability board leader, reflects on the future leaders: “We’re going to be faced with a generational change which is just going to hold us to account much differently than what we’re currently being pressured.”
Tune in for an unusual intergenerational reunion that explores how to lead differently.
