Pia Kleppe Marken

Pia Kleppe Marken

Head of Municipal Patrol in Oslo

International MBA 2003–2004

"Since I completed my studies 20 years ago, EADA has trained leaders who not only drive the success of their organisations, but also create long-lasting value for society through responsible and ethical decision-making. The new campus is more than just a building: it symbolises the continuous growth of EADA and its commitment to train future leaders for a world in constant change. I would like to congratulate EADA's management team, its faculty, staff and students. Thank you for this honour. I'm so proud to be one of EADA's alumni community!"

José Alberto Carbonell

President of the Port of Barcelona

Executive MBA 1993–1995

"I would like to congratulate EADA and all those who helped to design Campus 2 - Provença. It is a major step for the business school and it is important to recognise the efforts of those behind it. After studying engineering, I came to EADA 30 years ago to study an EMBA and it has helped me a lot during my career. It has even got me to where I am today receiving this honour as a Distinguished Alumni of EADA, which I am not sure is totally warranted. At the Port of Barcelona, I have had the opportunity to work with an outstanding team of people".

Roger López

President International Vision Care Business, Alcon

Executive MBA 1996–1998

"I feel honoured to be here today as a Distinguished Alumni of EADA and it is a privilege to be part of the legacy of an institution such as EADA with its 120,000 alumni and impressive 68-year history. It is an honour for me to carry part of the EADA legacy with me and I would like to thank the school for giving me the tools. I would also like to say a few words about the most important person in my life, Montse. Thank you for everything, for being flexible and the best companion I could ever have on this journey. I love you and let's raise a glass later on. Thank you to everyone".

Eloi Planes

Executive President of Fluidra

Executive MBA 1998–2000

"I would like to thank you for this honour. I am a big fan of the concept of a lifelong team, which includes all those people who accompany you and are close to you when you don't know how to move forward or you find yourself in difficulty. I have a large team of people around me which includes people I love, such as my father, who passed away two months ago, and people in my team. EADA is part of this lifelong team and includes people I can turn to when I need to hear what they think. So many thanks for being here and being part of my team".

Andrea Latten

Andrea Latten

Chief Business Officer, Condé Nast Britain

International Master in Marketing 2007–2008

"I feel incredibly honoured to be recognised as one of the Distinguished Alumni of EADA. I completed my Master's programme in 2008 and it brings back a lot of emotions now that I'm back in the city. This honour holds a special meaning for me since it reflects not only my personal career, but also the valuable experiences and lessons I learned during my time at EADA. I hope to continue with my contributions to the alumni network and supporting future leaders. Congratulations on the opening of your new campus".

Jeremy de Maillard

Jeremy de Maillard

CEO of Marshall Group

International MBA 2003–2004

"First of all, I would like to thank my family. What makes this school great is its diversity. I believe that being exposed to so many different cultures, aspects, ways of working and thinking is a unique opportunity for all students. I think the opportunity of learning how to collaborate with others and getting the best out of every individual to be able to build a team is really an important part of generating success. Everyone we meet knows something that we don't. And if you have a curious spirit, if you work hard and learn from others, you'll be incredible".
