A self-employed venture investor based in Brussels, Jean-Jacques Degroof spent several years as a researcher with the MIT Industrial Performance Center after receiving his PhD in management from the MIT Sloan School of Management. Jean-Jacques Degroof continues to be involved with his alma mater as a mentor with the MIT Sloan Student-Alumni Mentoring Program. Designed to support and inspire current students at MIT Sloan, the program allows alumni to make a considerable impact.
Alumni volunteers with the MIT Sloan Alumni-Student Mentoring Program enjoy a great deal of flexibility regarding their involvement in the program. After students upload a profile detailing their areas of study and career interests, alumni select the students whose backgrounds most closely match their own abilities and experiences. From there, alumni can build relationships with selected mentees and establish boundaries for communication that take their own situations into account. Many alumni also find the mentoring relationship to be reciprocal: current students have a great capacity to teach alumni about new ideas circulating in the MIT Sloan community.
