Mia at the Harvard Faculty Club

April 2nd, 2010

Recent alumni of Harvard’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, please join us in Cambridge on the morning of Alumni Day for breakfast and a stimulating shot of economic power!

Featuring economist and GSAA Council member Mia de Kuijper, PhD ‘83, discussing the new economy now emerging from the global financial crisis.

Business Week called de Kuijper’s new book, *Profit Power Economics*, “a stimulating read, whether you are a business manager or someone trying to figure out the best career path.” Attend the breakfast and get a copy to take home with you!

De Kuijper will talk about her own career path, too. She’s worked with Royal Dutch Shell, AT&T, PepsiCo, Credit Suisse First Boston, Morgan Stanley, the Global Business Network, and Bain & Co, among others. She’s now the CEO of de Kuijper Global Partners and a dean of the Duisenberg School of Finance, Amsterdam.

So join us for a breakfast gathering just for recent alumni! And stay for Alumni Day, with a morning keynote by Dr. Paul Farmer, whose Partners in Health has done such inspiring work in Haiti.
