INSEAD's alumni network is global by design — drawn from more than 150 nationalities, scattered across continents, working in every imaginable industry. It is, in many ways, the opposite of a small district like Rochechouart: vast, dispersed, transient.
And yet the question is the same. How do you sustain a thread of recognition across distance and time? How do you say thank you to the cohort-mate you have not seen in fifteen years, the professor whose seminar reshaped your career, the colleague in another country who quietly opened a door?
Pour La Joie is not an alumni-network tool. It is a small ritual that anyone can use. But INSEAD alumni — fluent in working across cultures, accustomed to building trust across distance — strike us as a community where the gesture might travel especially well.
We are open to conversations with INSEAD chapters, alumni groups, and individuals who would like to think with us about what this could look like.
