What is your career path ?
I enjoyed being part of the 1st class of IT Business Manager program, a work/study training program from the School.
At that time, I didn't really know what kind of job I could get with that diploma... Right after my 2nd year's internship, I started the work / study training program, without doing a placement year., by joining the team "Business Manager" of Finaxys (IT consulting firm specialised in finance) created 4 years before by Guillaume Blanchetière (class PGE 7 ESC Rennes).

What is your career path ?
I have been combining human capital and intrapreneurship for more than 10 years.
Once I got my MBA I seized the opportunity to create and run the 1st Chinese office of a Franco-Bangladeshi trading company in the textile industry: hiring and managing a Sino-Bangladeshi team, while developing the Asian sourcing network and handling the Western clients. Only captain aboard of a ship of 30 sailors and many millions, a superb human and professional challenge that lasted 3 years.
I joined after then the consulting world in strategy and human capital, from the cross-cultural perspective. I have been moving up within this industry for the last 9 years. I accompany big corporate structures, but with the sense and challenges of entrepreneurship.

What is your career path?
I am part of class 21. Finishing School, I worked for 1 year as a Sales Engineer at Uniware, a software company. Rapidly, I did not feel in tune with this activity and I changed for my current function as a major account business manager at LYRECO (European n° 1 for office supplies and central services). The lesson I learned from this experience is that you should not hesitate over changing job if you do not feel good at work.
