4. Role of the Global Coordinator
The Global Coordinator role was implemented for the first time 17 years ago in PwC by Keith Bell, one of the
earliest AIESEC Champions in the firm. It started as a personal assistant position to help him handle the
AIESEC partnership, but over the years it has gained a lot of independence and functions as a role.
Currently the Global Coordinator works as part of the Global Human Capital team and reports to Karel De
Baere, CEO at PwC Belgium, and is based in Brussels.
The main role of the coordinator is to build, manage and maintain the partnership between AIESEC and PwC
on the global level. The coordinator needs to synthesise the views and expectations of the most important
stakeholders, from partnership champions and supporters, to interns and alumni within PwC, as well as
AIESEC as an organisation.
Every year a new AIESEC member is
selected to run this role, therefore we
would like to show our appreciation to the

Case Challenge collaboration
National Leadership Development Conference has always been an exciting
platform for today's young leaders and change agents to communicate with
established enterprises. AIESEC Singapore has engaged with PwC through

AIESECers to stay relevant with the most current situations of such
enterprises and has allowed the companies to know more about today's
AIESECers.
Looking to the future, PwC and AIESEC Singapore foresee continued
growth in the working relationship through a formal annual partnership
focusing on several areas including brand awareness, talent sourcing and
corporate responsibility.
AIESEC in Singapore organises each year their national conferences. In

strong alliance between PwC and AIESEC and 12 AIESEC interns have been recruited, since
June 2011, to shape and lead this project.

Since the inception of TEP, the team has carried out 105 blood donation campaigns in over 27
companies and 3 universities and collected 3,729 blood bags. TEP serves as a great
introduction to corporate responsibility strategy for corporate clients like: Apache,

A partner that assisted us in a moment of need

Especially this year, in September 2011 PwC was one of the companies that stood when we lived the
dramatic accident of the bus going to Mombasa. The invaluable support of PwC and especially with the
assistance of Nancy Onyango, a Partner in PwC Kenya in this moment of need was a blessing for us.
The year end was a grand finale for AIESEC Kenya, and we were honoured to receive the first edition
award from PwC together with AIESEC Alumni International for the entity that has the best alumni
management across the AIESEC global network. This has served as a motivation to AIESEC Kenya to
contribute more to the development of the youth of this country and continue carrying out activities for

Thanks for all your collaboration and recognition, PwC.”
