Dear CEIBS Global EMBA Alumni,

As spring awakens and a new year unfolds, we embrace a season of fresh beginnings, renewed energy, and boundless possibilities.

2024 was an outstanding year for CEIBS and the Global EMBA Programme. One milestone we are particularly proud of is CEIBS Global EMBA being ranked #1 globally in the 2024 Financial Times’ EMBA Ranking.This achievement belongs to every one of you. Your success, leadership, and contributions shape the reputation of our programme, and we couldn’t be prouder to see you making an impact across industries and regions.

At the heart of this success is you, our alumni. You have consistently contributed your time and resources to make the programme better in innumerable ways, big and small. You have referred and interviewed new candidates, proposed and led engaging company visits and knowledge sharing sessions, and generally advocated for the programme and CEIBS itself at every opportunity. Your dedication and achievements inspire future cohorts and reinforce the value of our community. For that, we extend our deepest gratitude.

With the year ahead full of possibilities, we wish you great success in all your endeavors—whether it’s achieving personal milestones, driving innovation in your industries, or expanding your global horizons. And remember, you are always part of a powerful community of peers who stand ready to support and celebrate your journey. 

Once again, thank you for being such an integral part of the CEIBS Global EMBA Programme!

Ambassador Excellence Award

The Global EMBA  "Ambassador Excellence Award" is given each year to an alumnus/alumna who goes above and beyond the call of duty while representing CEIBS and the Global EMBA programme. Recipients of this award show tireless efforts in liaising with prospective GEMBA candidates and familiarising them with everything the programme has to offer. They also recommend students of the current GEMBA 2024 class and represent the Global EMBA programme in numerous other capacities.

Admission Ambassador Award

The Global EMBA "Admission Ambassador Award" is designed to recognise the invaluable efforts of alumni who contribute their time and expertise to support the Global EMBA admissions process. This is a crucial function of the programme, as it ensures the calibre of admitted students remains competitively high. Winners of this award diligently support our admissions efforts by routinely recommending candidates, assisting with candidate interviews, and joining campus visit days to share their insights and experiences with potential applicants.

Community Ambassador Award

The ongoing success of the Global EMBA programme is driven in large part by the depth of its community spirit. Accordingly, the Global EMBA "Community Ambassador Award" recognises alumni who go above and beyond to support their fellow alums, current students and the wider GEMBA community. Winners of this award are those who selflessly provide their time, resources and expertise to improve everything from GEMBA Circle events to Capstone Oral Defense panels and student recruitment/recommendation efforts.

Business Development Ambassador Award

The Global EMBA "Business Development Ambassador Award" is given in recognition of alumni who help shape the future of the programme's interactions with real-world business organisations, keeping it as relevant and true to real-life business conditions as possible. Winners of this award stand out due to their active engagement of students and fellow alumni in unlocking the value of company visits, open days and direct connections to all manner of companies and business-related organisations.

Public Profile Ambassador Award

The Global EMBA "Public Profile Ambassador Award" is dedicated to recognising alumni who strengthen the clarity and appeal of the programme's public-facing communications, and the wider brand of the Global EMBA itself. Given the rapidly evolving business environment in which all CEIBS students and alumni operate, this is essential for keeping the Global EMBA offering as relevant and impactive as possible. Winners of this award are recognised for their tireless efforts on various Class Committee Teams, featuring in published CEIBS articles and featurettes, liaising with business organisations for company visits, and providing additional resources for boosting wider awareness of the programme.

GEMBA CSR Trailblazer Award
