Why use MFA?

To access the online alumni directory, simply login to MyINSEAD and click on the ‘Directory’ tab on the navigation bar at the top of the page. Using the filters on the left of the page, you can further refine your search results.

In instances where your search returns no results, there are several reasons why someone might not appear in your search results. They could have set their Alumni Directory profile to private, or they might have updated their name or other personal details.

Alumni are typically receptive to requests for guidance from fellow alumni, whether through a brief email or a thoughtful LinkedIn message. When reaching out, consider:

•      Introducing yourself and explaining why you’re contacting them.    
•     Mentioning specific aspects of their experience you’d like to learn about.    
•     Requesting a short conversation at their convenience.    

 Avoid asking for a job, internship, or referral upfront — focus on building a meaningful connection first.

The directory should not be used for:

✘ Mass communications and bulk outreach

✘ Commercial marketing, fundraising, or promotional purposes
