"I graduated from the very first EDHEC International BBA class in 1992. This program helped me a lot to build my career. I still use today what I have learned 27 years ago in Finance and Marketing. Moët Hennesy is regularly looking for young graduates who are ready to go abroad and work hard. We like people with perseverance, pragmatism and who like to take risks."
François Xavier Desplancke,
EDHEC International BBA, 1992
PDG Moët Hennessy Diageo France
“I spent all my career in the tech/digital industry, working for both big tech names (Google, LinkedIn, Rakuten) but also smaller start-ups (Deliveroo, Rocket Internet). Mostly, I worked in the APAC region: Shanghai, Tokyo, and now Singapore. EDHEC Business School helped me to have a global mindset and vision. My top 1 advice to the next generation of international marketers would be: don’t aim for big companies during the first 5 years of your work life. Go for startups, the earlier stage the better, so you’ll get to have a strategic and holistic role. This will help you a lot to get strong expertise quickly”
