“Founded in 2010, EMI made 7 Emerging Market Multinational Reports, 12 Annual Conferences, the launch of the pitch and case competitions, and the graduation more than 60 EMI Fellows every year. None of this would be possible without a great EMI team, the generous support of alumni, faculty, and Johnson community at large. I feel grateful and privileged to be part of the EMI family, and I am confident that EMI is just beginning its second decade of excellence.” Lourdes Casanova, Gail and Rob Cañizares Director, EMI
