We asked the alumni below, celebrating a birthday today, April 21, "Where are you now?" Here's what they said...

Piyaworn Chankanit MBA '03
I am in Bangkok, Thailand. Looking forward to welcoming the class of 2023 with open arms!!!

Bill Clendenen MBA '00

Living a bi-coastal life in Eugene, OR and Cape Cod, MA. Working as an Executive Partner with Shore Capital Partners in Chicago.

Lily Djuniarti MBA '10

I still live in Austin, TX, and I am enjoying my time in the startup world after years with a Fortune 500 company.

Jose Manuel Luque MBA '00

I am currently living in my hometown, Lima, Peru, with my wife, Melissa, and two kids: Diego (15) and Daniela (12). For the past four years, I´ve been working at a local raw materials importer company, in charge of the Pharma & Chemicals Business Unit. As always, I am enjoying sports and I'm now into open waters swimming, where I value my city that offers me 365 days of access to the Pacific Ocean. Happy to receive everybody, so just let me know when you are around!

Gonzalo Rivero MBA '07
It is interesting to say that I am in the UK at this time, moved here with the family at probably the worst time possible, January of 2021, with COVID and Brexit occurring at the same time. Having said that, we've been really lucky to find a welcoming country and neighborhood; and though our daughter (eight years old as of Saturday) knew very little English when we arrived, she has made friends at school and in the community and is now speaking with a lovely British accent. I am still with the same company that I've been with for the past nine years, Zoetis, and I look forward to other new adventures around the world.

Simona Sas MBA '16

Hello, Fuqua community! After six years of being a Financial Sales Executive for IBM Financing, I am continuing my learning journey within the same company by applying myself to the study of Business Automation Technology Solutions. Living in Chicago, I eagerly await the coming of spring and plan to fully enjoy the warmer weather. Sunny skies and best wishes to all!

Christine Shambach MBA '04

Hello Team Fuqua! My husband, Mike, and I live in the Pittsburgh area with our son, Colton. I work at PNC Financial Services Group leading M&A and strategic planning. When not in the office, you can find us skiing, hiking, running, and traveling.

Aashima Singhal MMS '13
I’m a new mom living in Delhi, India, with my husband, Samaksh (an alumnus of Northwestern University), and an eight-month-old baby boy, Ivaan. I run my business of exporting leather garments and had been working until the last day of my pregnancy. I am so glad to finally be back at work since the past two months. Hope everyone is doing well. Tell me when you’re in Delhi, fellow alumni.

Mathen Thomas MBA '99

My wife and I moved back to Canterbury, UK, in early 2022. Our daughter is an ordinand (priesthood) doing her Masters in Theology, and our son is a medical doctor. Since graduating with the tools and experiences Fuqua equipped me with, I have been able to build my niche to scale up, profitably grow, and transform standalone businesses with full P&L responsibility globally, in the UK and EMEA while living in Hong Kong, Singapore, UK, Belgium, and Denmark. I have now taken on an interim role as Business Leader since late 2021 while deciding on the next steps.
