meeting minds global – Oxford University Society in Ottawa

Oxford University’s Meeting Minds Global 2021 hosted the fourth instalment of the Three Capitals series, an ongoing collaboration by the Oxford University Societies in Ottawa, Mexico City, and Washington DC.

Oxonians from every region of the globe joined us for a conversation with a distinguished panel of North American alumni, who spoke to the question, “What did your time at Oxford mean to your personal development as a leader, and how did it enable you to exercise leadership in North America?”

Our speakers were: Canada’s Astrid Guttmann, Chief Science Officer for the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences; Mexico’s Alejandro Ramírez, CEO of Cinépolis; and the United States’ Ebonique Boyd, Executive Director of NEXXXT.

Our moderators were: Ottawa’s Akaash Maharaj; Mexico City’s Karine Yuki; and Washington DC’s Sean Denniston.

The discussion was lively, insightful, and occasionally irreverent.

We are immensely grateful to our speakers, and to the Oxford University North American Office for inviting us to be part of Oxford’s premier global event.

The Three Capitals series between the Oxford University Societies in Ottawa, Mexico City, and Washington DC is coming to Meeting Minds Global 2021.

Meeting Minds Global is a week-long series of online sessions, created by the University’s alumni offices in Hong Kong, New York, Oxford, and Tokyo. It enables Oxonians and friends of Oxford from across the world to come together, share ideas, and celebrate our shared bond.

The Three Capitals’ contribution will be to bring together three exceptional North American leaders, from three entirely different walks of life, to address the question, “What did your time at Oxford mean to your personal development as a leader, and how did it enable you to exercise leadership in North America?”
