You went to a great school: make the most of that, let loose, do what makes you happy

Séverine Besson-Thura
Export sales director at Teclis Instruments

I started an EMBA at emlyon business school to prepare the company takeover via a LBO.

Ségolène Moyrand
Group Communication Manager of Gattefossé

I also asked myself many questions, including about the interest for me, who works since six years in a company, to gain experience elsewhere. But the coaching realised by a high-quality professional allowed me to take a step back, to put my project into perspective and to reinforce my wish to make this company grow while consolidating its independence, which is important to us, and also to our customers.

Alexandre Iacovella
President / CEO of Bilfinger LTM industrie

The point is to share with different people, from different backgrounds, different ages; to develop my network and to have new knowledge and tools allowing me to see further.

Isabelle Charvin
Director of Cabinet Neocoach, expert in change management

A human and entrepreneurial adventure.

Françoise Kleinbauer
CEO of France Retraite

Firstly, the course helped me become sufficiently self-confident about my capability to put the project together and make it work. And, in addition, it allowed me access to resources that were very valuable in building the project. I was therefore able to benefit from the input of teachers and other people whom I had especially appreciated in the fields where I needed support, people whose only goals were to help me succeed in my takeover.

Sandra Hong
Director of Human Resources at PSB Industries

Whatever the period, life - particularly professional life - is not like a slow-flowing, peaceful river. Successes and failures constantly oblige us to adapt. Along the way, periods of training are a privilege that allow you to develop both professionally and in human terms and you must know how to make the most of these.

Nadine Adra
Transénergie CEO

Enhance your particularity and creativity! Rely on the acquired competencies and on emlyon business school network but also add your own touch to what you do and undertake.

Mario Marchi
Executive Officer of Fibrotermica

Proclaiming that I'm always right: a manager is a manger, not because they are always right, but because they have to choose the best solution from all the available options (whether they stem from an original idea or from a member of their team).

François Burnichon
Consultant AppTek

Firstly: increased understanding of marketing, strategy, management, finance, ... I’ve been highly impressed by the professors. We tried to challenge them on the basis of our experience and they always met our expectations. Secondly, I enjoyed the network and strong entrepreneurial spirit of EML. The EMBA convinced me that entrepreneurship is possible. Last but not least, I lived a transformational experience both personally and professionally. After the completion of the EMBA, I was contacted by a headhunter to take on general management responsibilities of a BU. I then created my own company. Mastering a large range of subjects and their interactions would not have been possible without the multidisciplinary approach and state-ofmind developped by my EMBA

Brice Chambard
Obiz co-founder, received the "Coup de cœur" trophy at the 8th edition of the Fête de l'Entreprise

I wanted to be better equipped, to obtain quality education and training (MBA EMLYON in 2003), a denser network to activate and enough funds of my own to be able to set up my enterprise while keeping risks low.

Fabrice Plasson
Founder and CEO of Amoéba

When I joined the Executive MBA programme I was determined to update my knowledge on various subjects like finance and human resource management. My aim was to build solid skills in the areas that have to be taken care of on a daily basis by any entrepreneur.

Thierry Perrin
Executive manager STRUCTURAL

The EMBA brought me the necessary skills that then allowed me to move on to more strategic positions with an international scope. But I also learned a lot about myself, namely thanks to the meetings and events with the other MBA groups and students in my graduating class. Learning from the professional backgrounds and experience of the other participants is just as important as the content of the training program itself.
