100 INSEAD Alumni - Career Growth Beyond the First Job | Online
Note: This session will be conducted in Chinese.
In today’s evolving job market, shaped by technological disruption, shifting talent demands, and increasing career mobility, many professionals are reflecting on how to build sustainable, long-term careers.
At INSEAD, we recognise that while short-term outcomes often draw focus, it is long-term career growth, particularly how individuals evolve, adapt, and lead over time, that ultimately defines lasting impact. With this in mind, INSEAD is launching the 100 INSEAD Alumni series, bringing together accomplished alumni across industries, geographies, and career stages to share their experiences and perspectives on how careers develop, and the role that formative experiences, including global education, can play in supporting sustained growth.
In this inaugural session, we are pleased to welcome Jason Jia, Global Partner at Egon Zehnder and an INSEAD MBA alumnus from the Class of 2004, alongside Jennifer Luo from INSEAD. Together, they will reflect on how careers evolve beyond the early stages, what differentiates sustained professional growth, and how experiences such as a global MBA or Master’s programme may contribute to long-term career development.
