Every month, Lipei Zhang (Class of 2026), China President of the U.S.-China Business Council, leaves her home in Beijing before sunrise, boarding the first flight to Hong Kong. By Sunday night, she is back again, ready to start another week. It’s a demanding rhythm, repeated month after month, for 18 months. Yet for Lipei, it has never felt like a burden, for each journey is a conscious choice.

Out of the many executive programs available in mainland China, Lipei deliberately chose the Kellogg‑HKUST EMBA. Very quickly, she realized her journey was part of something larger. From distant cities across the U.S., Europe, India, and Southeast Asia, her classmates arrived with equally demanding schedules and long flights. Their collective determination gave the program its distinctive energy, becoming the superglue that bonded the cohort closely across varied industries and backgrounds.

Consistently ranked No.1 globally by the Financial Times, the Kellogg‑HKUST EMBA gave Lipei the confidence she was joining an international program designed to carry her beyond China and prepare her for even more demanding leadership roles ahead. In the classroom, Lipei discovered voices that pushed her to unlearn and grow. “That’s what leadership today requires — being open, curious, and willing to be challenged,” she reflects.

If you are a senior executive who feels that same curiosity to grow, even if you cannot yet explain it — listen to it. That pull can be a turning point that transforms your career in 18 months and for the long run. Watch the full interview with Lipei Zhang to see how: https://youtu.be/zED8x3Oq-uc

Ranked No. 1 in the world 12 times, the Kellogg-HKUST Executive MBA is consistently at the top of its game. What truly sets it apart isn’t just prestige, it’s the people. Nearly half the cohort already hold C-suite or senior executive titles, making leadership at the highest level the norm. Ego, however, takes a back seat. Built around a selective yet humble community, the program thrives on its “high-impact, low-ego” ethos.

This ethos isn’t just talk. In this article, Prof. Francesca Cornelli, Dean of Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, and Prof. Frederic Anseel, Dean of the Business School at HKUST, explain how this unique positioning has elevated the program to global recognition.

Students from the current KH29 cohort (Class of 2027), Maggie Li from Hong Kong and Michael Hangelmann from Spain, also bring unique perspectives from their roles as Chief Retail Operations Officer at Chow Sang Sang and Chief Executive at Eurovision Services, sharing real-life stories of how the program has influenced their leadership path.

Discover how the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA cultivates leaders who rise without posturing, and why collaboration, not isolation, is the secret to sustainable success.

A diamond of an experience!

What a privilege it was for the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA community to step inside the Chow Sang Sang Production Centre in Shunde, a rare opportunity made possible thanks to Maggie Li (KH29), Chief Retail Operations Officer at Chow Sang Sang.

Our students and alumni were granted exclusive access to three core centres at the heart of Chow Sang Sang’s operations:

● The Diamond Polishing Centre
● The Gold Jewellery Production Headquarters
● The Intelligent Fulfilment Centre

Knowledge shines in many forms, and this visit was a brilliant reminder that learning doesn’t stop at the classroom door. Through strong community ties, we continue to open doors to experiences that are as rare and valuable as the gems we witnessed.

Over 18 months, KH28 (Class of 2026) balanced demanding careers, family commitments, and rigorous studies to complete the Kellogg-HKUST EMBA. Their graduation in Hong Kong reunited classmates together once more, with many flying in from cities such as Beijing, Dubai, Ho Chi Minh City, and Singapore.

Behind every diploma was a story of with late-night discussions, missed family dinners, and moments of doubt. For the graduates, those sacrifices became stepping stones, and the vision that carried them through was strengthened by the friendships they built along the way. They now stand equipped with the confidence, leadership skills, and broader perspectives essential for navigating an increasingly complex world.

The Douro Valley in Portugal may seem an unlikely classroom for leadership, yet António Magalhães, its legendary winemaker, turned decades of experience into a philosophy that resonates far beyond the vineyard. His emphasis on resilience, careful listening, and patience lays out timeless principles that leaders can apply in any field.

Building on this perspective, Kellogg Prof. Sergio Rebelo — familiar to many of our students through his International Finance course in the Lisbon Global Elective and his co-leadership of the Kellogg Harvest Program — continues to highlight the modern leadership insights embedded in winemaking.

Read on to understand how the vineyard’s discipline shapes management practices that remain relevant today: https://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/what-a-legendary-winemaker-can-teach-us-about-leadership #!
