A motto that expresses the spirit that guides us in creating new projects, new opportunities for growth and that fully conveys the solid sense of aggregation that belongs to all BBS Alumni. Being appointed a member of the Collegio dei Fondatori is an honor and a commitment that allows all of us to contribute even more actively to the growth of the Community. The greatest treasure is not in what we continue to learn, but in our connections and our ability to innovate. &#8220;<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We few, we happy few, we band of brothers<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d (W.

In this time when we\u2019re facing challenges globally, locally, and internally, our collaboration to build strong and lasting ties within the Bologna Business School community is essential.\u00a0 I\u2019ve seen the power of BBS to bring together great minds from varied backgrounds; minds imbued with future vision. It\u2019s the ultimate calling of an Alumnus to return the value that was afforded by the school and our business school colleagues by identifying ways to bring all of that vision together \u2013 for our Alumni, for the school, for our future Alumni, and for school collaborators.\u00a0 I firmly believe that if we aren\u2019t forwarding that objective, we are missing an opportunity to help out current and future BBS community to thrive. With that in mind, I am humbled to serve as part of the BBS Alumni Association Board of Founders, and to grow together as we take steps toward an exciting future for the business school.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Congratulations to all of them and best wishes for a successful work on behalf of the whole Community of Bologna
