The Case for a CAO: Why Everyone Needs a Chief Alumni Officer

From overlooked to essential: we look at the case for alumni leadership in the corporate C-suite.

Alumni networks are no longer just a “nice to have” – they’re a strategic asset. From boomerang hires and brand advocacy to client referrals and talent pipelines, alumni engagement is delivering measurable business value across industries. So why is the role of Chief Alumni Officer (CAO) still so rare in the corporate world?

We’ll be welcoming Anna Moreno Damico, Global Director or Alumni Strategy & Engagement at Boston Consulting Group (BCG), and Danya Ray, Alumni Relations Manager at Seyfarth Shaw LLP.

Join us for a lively and practical conversation that explores the emerging case for the CAO. We’ll unpack how and why alumni programs evolved from grassroots initiatives to business-critical functions – and why it’s time they had a seat at the leadership table.

Whether you’re running an alumni program solo, shaping talent strategy, or making decisions about the future of your workforce, this session will offer a bold vision for what’s next.
