A&O Shearman: Where Alumni and Innovation Fuse

Law firm A&O Shearman’s digital innovation hub Fuse has been the catalyst for long-term alumni engagement, cutting edge technology and business transformation.

We’ll be welcoming Shruti Ajitsaria, Head of Fuse, and the co-leads of the Alumni Program at A&O Shearman, Jenny Enever and Stella Ekkeshis to learn how they built a community that not only connects alumni to the business but drives strategic competitive advantage value.

Whether you’re scaling an alumni program or seeking new ways to activate your network for growth, this session will offer a blueprint for lasting impact, and an exciting window into how any company, in any sector, can leverage alumni expertise to lead the launch of bold new ventures.

What we’ll cover:

• How alumni-led referrals and storytelling have fuelled diverse innovation and seeded flourishing businesses.
• Turning shared history into strategic advantage – from ambassadors to product co-creators.
• Boomerang talent: how alumni returning from incubated start-ups bring fresh energy and competitive edge
• Building an ecosystem with genuine community at its heart.

Whether you’re scaling an alumni program or seeking new ways to activate your network for growth, this session will offer a blueprint for lasting impact, and a window into how any company, in any sector, can leverage alumni expertise to lead the launch of bold new ventures.
