Last night we held the P&G Alumni Geneva Annual General Meeting — and it was a reminder of why this community still matters so much.

The formal AGM gave us a chance to reflect on a strong year of events, connections, career support and community building, while also looking ahead to an even more ambitious 2026–2027 agenda. From speed networking to founder conversations, board-readiness sessions, job market discussions and future collaborations, the energy in the room was clear: this is not just an alumni network. It is a living ecosystem of experience, generosity and reinvention.

We were also privileged to hear from Loïc Tassel, whose reflections on the future of business, brands and consumers landed with real force.

One message stood out: in a world drowning in data, human understanding is becoming more valuable — not less. Spreadsheets can reveal patterns. Dashboards can create confidence. But the deepest truths still come from getting close to people: their habits, tensions, emotions, workarounds and unspoken needs.

That is a timely reminder for anyone building brands, teams or businesses today. The tools are changing fast. The channels are fragmenting. The pace is brutal. But the work still begins with people.

And after the formal part, the cocktail dinatoire gave everyone the best part of alumni life: proper conversations, old friendships, new introductions, and the chance for those informal exchanges where real opportunities often begin.

A big thank you to everyone who joined, contributed, voted, challenged, laughed and stayed to connect.

Looking forward to building the next chapter together.
