Our International Advisory Board

EHL's international advisory board (IAB) is composed of international hotel, education and hospitality leaders who provide EHL with important industry insights.

IAB Members are industry experts who work in top positions for various influential brands and hospitality establishments around the world, such as Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, Marriott Hotels, Kempinski or CitizenM – just to name a few.  

We interviewed some of our IAB members during their annual event on our campus in Lausanne.
