Sophia is coming along to the New York Dinner this year, and recently updated us on her impressive career, which has taken her to the heart of magazine publishing in New York.
"A Practical Guide for Competitive Success" is an exceptional treatise on strategic planning for single-business companies that is at once academically rigorous and uncommonly practical, this book emphasises the pervasive role of strategic thinking in strategic planning, including searching for better strategies, business models, and opportunities. The book also provides original and proven techniques to develop viable strategic alternatives, as well as many other useful analytical tools.
Many thanks to Gary Wang (B. 1973-78), Chris Christoforou (A. 1975-80), and Tigger Gray (B. 1972-75) pictured here in Florida clearly drinking a toast to Old Brightonians! The New York Dinner is coming up in March, and we are very much looking forward to our USA gathering, if you would like to attend please do contact Rebecca Findlay in the OB office.
With preparations underway for the World Cup in New Zealand this year, it is with an inflated ego and a great deal of national pride that I humbly submit that we have a new contender this year: The United States of America. That's right: the Eagles will go all the way this year, and no one will see it coming.
In order to keep in touch with our ever-growing alumni, we have started identifying individuals to head up regional and country groups in areas where there is a thriving community of Old Brightonians. The commitment of these individuals' time will be an invaluable resource for the Old Brightonians, as they help us to spread the net in engaging our former pupils. In the USA we are lucky to have Ingram Losner (BCJS 1971-73, D. 1973-78). Ingram went to live in the US in 1994 for what he thought would be a two year stint, but ended up staying and making his life there.
Stephen Nedeham Browne (BCJS 1951-56, A. 1956-60) and his wife Nayeli are joining us at the Old Brightonians New York Dinner on 24th March and looking forward to catching up with other Old Brightonians. Stephen lives in Mexico and sent in some details of his very lovely restaurant in Mexico City.
We recently caught up with Mat after a floury of activity on the Old Brightonians LinkedIn Group. We asked what he had been up to since leaving the College, and here it is...

OB of the Month, January 2012
On a beautiful, early spring evening in the middle of March, 20 OBs and their partners gathered together in the beautiful Lotos Club, just a few blocks away from New York’s Central Park, to mark the re-birth of the “USA Friends of Brighton College”.
The occasion, organized by Development Director Debra Chalmers who has brought renewed energy and enthusiasm to her role, was attended by the Head Master, Richard Cairns; Second Master Simon Smith and Assistant Head, Alan Bird.
The Development and Alumni Relations Office's primary role is to support the Head Master and Governors in realising the long-term plans of the school, by raising non-fee income, and by building a network of strong relationships among parents, staff, Old Brightonians and other friends and supporters.
