Description

The 20 Years Later MBA'03D podcast edition

Welcome to the Republic of Insead podcast edition and enjoy the show.

So here we are – 20 years later, hopefully all the wiser, naturally smarter and as charming as ever. There were 432 of us in the 03’D vintage and certainly there are 432 unique and very interesting personal and professional stories to tell. While I cannot physically cover all, I have tried to make a selection of stories, that will keep you interested and curious and will hopefully convince you to join us on campus for reunion.

The show is here to remind everyone what an interesting and dare we say, colorful, bunch of people we are and how much we can contribute to each other, be it through ideas, knowledge or mere inspiration. The podcast is inspired by the original Republic of INSEAD yearbook, produced on paper 20 years ago by Oliver Bradley and team.

Remember to book your tickets for the 20Y reunion in Fontainebleau, October 6-8 2023.

Thank you for listening.
