August 2012 | Alumni Profiles

An impressive mixture of skills and ambition this month as we talk career choices and different routes to success.

We are interested in the role that the University has played in your life, either directly - in terms of skills and knowledge - or indirectly, via friends, experiences or chance encounters.

Please get in touch and you and your experiences could feature on our website.

We are Olympics obsessed this month as Business Studies graduate, Graeme Easton, talks Beach Volleyball, the value of conversation and being part of the London 2012 experience.

Law graduate and President of the University of Edinburgh Alumni Club of Greece, Demetrios Iatrides, talks career progression, the impact of Edinburgh and making the most of your opportunities.

Master of Architecture graduate Harry Kirkham talks summer working for Google Earth and the value of looking beyond bar work with the help of the University Careers Service.

In a change from our usual alumni profile, we chatted to the founders and staff of an Edinburgh-based sustainable energy network about the role the university plays in their business, and how they got to where they are today.

From theatre director to climate change communicator and strategist, Ben Twist talks carbon management, going back to university as a mature student - and making your dissertation count.
