Perspectives from alumni on how the association fuels friendships, careers, and innovation.
What makes the FIM alumni association special is the unique mix of leading academics, corporate professionals, and entrepreneurs - from early founders to scale-up leaders. Especially at events like our Annual Meeting or the Startup Nights, you really feel this connection: it’s a space for honest conversation and learning from each other, regardless of career stage.
Sr. Director People & Culture at Celonis
FIM has given me far more than I expected. The best part is being surrounded by highly self-motivated and proactive fellow students. In this environment, I genuinely level up both my soft and hard skills and achieve things I never thought I could. Thanks to FIM’s blend of finance and information management, I can now confidently use tech knowledge in my work and stay current with every new innovation. It’s been a transformative boost to my career.

For me, the FIM Alumni Association an incredibly opportunity for networking: no matter what event you attend, you always meet interesting alumni and can benefit in the long-term from the conversations and contacts you make.
CEO & Co-Founder at ECENT
The FIM Alumni eV is more than just a professional network. It helped me and countless others bridge the gap from academic life into our careers. At the same time it provides the platform to maintain old and find new friendships, both across classes and career paths, with the social events it offers. And of course it's the basis to stay connected to the FIM program itself, and the social causes we've begun to support as students and that we're still fundraising for as alumni.
Technical Solutions Manager at Vonage
I truly enjoy the sprit of the FIM Alumni Association events. They always go beyond a nice exchange within your cohort, providing an opportunity to connect with motivated fresh graduates as well as experienced professionals from the first years of FIM.
