IE sailing team tests italian waters
 |
For the second year running, current students and alumni of the
International MBA took part in one of the highlights of the MBA sailing
scene. The atmosphere and events were met with great enthusiasm
by IE’s eight-member crew.The MBA’s Cup Regatta, organized by SDA Bocconi, was hosted
once again by the prestigious Yacht Club Italiano in the lovely
waters of the Genoese coast off Santa Margherita Ligure.What
started six years ago as a rather informal regatta for Bocconi alumni
has become one of the largest international MBA sports events,
with some 400 students from top European and U.S. business
schools taking part. The competition was as tough as ever, with
some very experienced crews on state-of-the-art yachts. |
Insituto de Empresa’s eight-member crew hailed together from six
different countries and was comprised of Johannes Tinsobin
IMBA05 (Austria), Carlos Vázquez IMBA05, Pablo Divasson
IMBA05 (both from Spain), Marcos Ferrer IMBA06 (Argentina),
Wim Zwaenepoel IMBA06 (Belgium), Karim Kreaa IMBA06
(Spain), Alexander Corrie IMBA06 (UK) and Alberto Ordiales
IMBA06 (Mexico). They were sailing for the first time together and
soon became effective at their tasks.
The four-day event also featured social events and a conference
A wider, wilder world: competing overseas with the key note speaker
Alfonso Iozzo, CEO of the Italian bank Sao Paolo, giving interesting
insights into the European banking industry.
The MBA’s Cup Regatta provides a good opportunity to put into
practice essential management skills learned during an MBA (such
as planning, forming a strategy, working as a team, making the
most of available technologies and tools, and competing abroad).
The setting was healthy and competitive, and there was the chance
to meet present and future managers from top-tier MBA schools,
such as Wharton, NYU Stern, Kellogg, Bocconi, INSEAD,
IESE and LBS.
The team thoroughly enjoyed the regatta and looks forward to bringing
home a trophy next year.
