Yesterday, our Kellogg-WHU Executive MBA community had exactly that opportunity. Together with prospective candidates, alumni, students, and our admissions team, we spent the evening at the European Space Agency - ESA in Cologne. Beyond the fascinating tour of the European Astronaut Centre, the real highlight was seeing how the Kellogg-WHU network comes full circle. A special thank you to our alumnus Jérôme Reineix (EMBA Class of 2017), LEO & Human Exploration Project Control Team Leader – Fly! Manager at ESA. Thank you for opening the doors to your workplace, sharing your journey, and giving our guests a behind-the-scenes look at an environment that few people ever get to experience. The evening reminded us that an Executive MBA is about much more than what happens in the classroom. It's about becoming part of a community whose members are shaping industries, leading organizations, and, sometimes, even helping Europe reach for the stars. Thank you to everyone who joined us in Cologne, especially our supportive alumni: Witold Mierzejewski, Paolo Rosso, Maneli Rezvani, EMBA, Jessica Ortner, and Marina Voudouri. #KelloggWHUforyou #ExecutiveMBA #ESA #Networking #Leadership
