On behalf of the Management Board, the Supervisory Board chaired by Jean-Philippe Crocq, President of the Ille-et-Vilaine CCI, and the School’s staff, I would like to welcome Adilson Borges and wish him every success in his new role. His personal and professional qualities will be essential assets in implementing the new strategic plan. I would also like to extend my warmest thanks to Jean Audouard, who has been in charge of the School since May, and who has agreed to remain with us to ensure the transition.”
