Updates from the Global Network. The former president of AIESEC International - Hugo Pereira has been named as the world’s most networked person in the Network Challenge launched by Western Union in July this year, to mark its 16 anniversary and celebrate it status as one of the world’s most globally connected companies. The global search was fuelled by a new interactive, online application called Your World. It visualizes Facebook users' global connections and awards a score for how globally connected they are. Users can compare their ranking against their Facebook Friends; others in their country and others in the world. “With 4,932 friends in 124 different locations across the globe, and a Network Score of 476133, Portuguese national, Hugo Pereira, beat more than 250,000 Your World users worldwide to claim the title of the world's most globally connected person. By comparison, the average person in Kenya has a Network Score of 6174 with 237 friends in 26 different locations. Pereira attributes his feat to years of networking in his role as global president of AIESEC, the world's largest youth-led organization, which has 60,000 active members in more than 1,800 universities in 110 countries and territories.
