On 11 June 2026, the Global Governance and Ethics MSc hosted a GGE Alumni Reunion and Networking Evening, bringing together current students, alumni and staff for a panel discussion and informal reception.
The evening centred on an alumni panel titled ‘The Global Governance of Today and the Future’, exploring how GGE graduates are navigating global challenges across international development, finance, humanitarian practice, law, technology, climate politics and risk governance.
The panel was chaired by Anita Punwani, a 2015 GGE alumna and risk and governance professional with extensive experience in sustainable development, public and private sector advisory work and international standards. She was joined by five GGE alumni:
- Adrienne Buller (GGE 2017), author, editor and political economist working on climate, nature and the political economy of ecological crisis
- Cecilia Ikeoluwa Dosu (GGE 2017), Government Relations and External Affairs professional at the World Bank Group, with extensive experience in international development policy, programmes,
advocacy and partnerships
- Max Weidlich (GGE 2014), Manager at the Bank of England, with previous experience at the Financial Conduct Authority and in Brexit-related policy work
- Henry Wilson (GGE 2019), corporate in-house solicitor specialising in the AI and technology sector
- William Ogilvie-Graham (GGE 2017), humanitarian professional with the International Organization for Migration, with field experience in conflict and fragile environments.
The panel brought to life how GGE questions travel beyond the seminar room. Panellists reflected on the pressures facing international cooperation, the challenge of sustaining ethical commitments in complex institutions and the importance of adaptability, judgement and intellectual curiosity beyond the university. The conversation also showcased the range of careers GGE alumni have gone on to pursue, and the value of bringing current students and alumni into dialogue across cohorts.
The panel was followed by a networking reception, giving current students the chance to speak informally with alumni about career pathways, professional transitions and the value of the GGE community beyond graduation.
The event was organised with the support of Jackson Hedgepeth and the Global Governance and Ethics Society, and forms part of wider efforts to strengthen links between current students and the programme’s alumni network.
