KPMG in Qatar recently launched its alumni network to provide ex-employees with a way of keeping in touch with colleagues, sharing knowledge and experience and networking with peers. The firm held its first event to bring this group together recently at the Sharq Hotel and was attended by over 80 people.
Gopal Balasubramaniam, Head of Audit for KPMG in Qatar, said: “Since launching the Alumni network, we have had a great response from people who have previously worked for KPMG in Qatar and from people who have worked in our different offices around the world who are now based in Qatar. The event provided an opportunity for our alumni to re-connect with ex-colleagues and to make new contacts from a similar professional background. Having this kind of informal forum for sharing industry insight is incredibly valuable for Qatar’s business world and I enjoyed the evening very much.”
