Anne’s earlier experience as an audit manager for large international groups and director of management control, as well as her widespread network vouch for her knowledge of companies and management, which will be put to good use in the Master in Management and Master of Science programs.

It is with great pride that I take up the position of Master in Management and Master of Science Director. I aim to bring these programs to the highest level of excellence, while giving students the opportunity to discover the jobs of the future, multiply international experience and ensure employability. Our students will be managers in tomorrow’s uncertain, complex world. We need to train them so they can implement innovating, demanding projects, using a true sense of humanity and collective intelligence. I’m thoroughly committed to spreading CSR values throughout our programs, especially when it comes to promoting diversity, which is the strength of business schools that are truly anchored in today’s world.
