    Schulich School of Business alumni and community members in Shanghai gathered on Saturday, January 18, 2025, at the Hyatt Regency Shanghai Global Harbor for a special event celebrating leadership, community, and connection. Hosted by Schulich Dean Detlev Zwick and Christina Niederwanger, Executive Director of Advancement and Alumni Engagement, the event marked the official handover of leadership for the China Alumni Chapter from Jonathan Cheung (MBA ’73) to Andrew Wu (MBA ’89), Group Greater China President at LVMH (Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton).

    The event welcomed special guest Chris Loan, Consul – Political, Economic and Public Affairs for Global Affairs Canada, who recognized the School’s growing ties with China over the past 20 years, including partnerships with Chinese business schools through academic exchanges, executive education partnerships and dual degree programs. The day featured networking opportunities, a celebratory lunch, and the Dean’s Leadership Dialogue, where Dean Zwick and Andrew Wu engaged in a dynamic discussion on leadership, vision, and the future of the alumni community.

    Dean Zwick thanked Cheung for his invaluable contributions and emphasized the importance of alumni chapters in building strong global connections. “Under Jonathan’s dedicated guidance the China Chapter has grown into a vibrant and inspiring community over the past two decades, one that reflects the very best of Schulich’s global spirit. From the very beginning, Jonathan and his wife Janice worked with unmatched energy and grace to unite our alumni, foster meaningful connections, and build what is today one of Schulich’s most active alumni chapters.”

    Welcoming Andrew Wu: A Vision for the Future

    The event celebrated the official handover of leadership to Andrew Wu, an accomplished business leader and Schulich MBA graduate. As Group Greater China President at LVMH, Wu has overseen the growth of one of the world’s most iconic luxury brands in a highly dynamic market. His extensive experience and insights into leadership, innovation, and global business strategy position him as an inspiring new leader for the China Alumni Chapter.

    “Andrew’s distinguished career and transformative work at LVMH speak volumes about his vision, strategic acumen, and ability to lead and inspire,” said Dean Zwick. “We are incredibly fortunate to have Andrew at the helm, and I am confident he will usher in an exciting new era for the Schulich community here in China.”

    Andrew Wu shared his vision for the future of the Chapter. “I’m honored to take on this role and continue promotion of the incredible work done by Jonathan. I hope to see more connections within our alumni community and building bridges of more collaboration to benefit not only our members but also Schulich as a whole.”

    “Connecting with our alumni in global hubs like China is essential for Schulich’s vision of being a truly international business school,” said Niederwanger. “It is through events like this that we not only celebrate alumni success but also strengthen the ties that unite us as a global family and make us Canada’s global business school. Together, we can continue to build a community that supports each other and makes a meaningful difference in the lives and future careers of our students.”
