                       Before joining ESSEC, I worked in many countries
                       and industries, and I was constantly on the
                lookout for new opportunities and challenges. Along the
                way, the omnipresence of digital business continued to
                grow and I was intrigued by how innovation was
                disrupting industries. I wanted a business school that
understands my journey, reflects my values and can equip me with
the skill sets to be a more effective leader in an increasingly
international, innovation-driven digital future.”
