INSEAD opened its Americas office in the heart of New York City in October 2007. The opening was made possible with the help of INSEAD alumni and other corporate supporters.

Through the Americas office, INSEAD is able to foster relationships with its extensive alumni base in the US, strengthen the INSEAD brand in the Americas, develop new corporate relationships and better serve existing clients in the corporate sector, as well as promote its MBA and EMBA programmes.

One of the most notable events of the year for the Americas office is the annual Transcultural Leadership Award Dinner where INSEAD honours international leaders who have achieved success in working with multiple cultures and helped build influential companies around the world.
