## International Advisory Board (IAB)

The International Advisory Board (IAB) reflects our determination to position ourselves as a key player in international economic and financial circles.

Role

The IAB will play a crucial role in shaping the overall strategy, programs and initiatives of our faculty. It aims to enrich our reputation, strengthen our local and national roots, foster international collaborations and contribute to our continuous improvement.

Members

The IAB is made up of a diverse group of leading figures from the business world with different experiences and perspectives to ensure a wide range of views and opinions. Five different nationalities are represented, and it is made up of representatives of international and Swiss companies and organisations, as well as NGOs and entrepreneurs. Members are active in the banking, auditing, finance, insurance, healthcare, sport, technology and nutrition sectors.\
