Bruno joined I\u00c9SEG in 1993. It is the most striking aspect of his curriculum…<\/p>\n
Firstly, he discusses the various internships throughout his schooling:<\/p>\n
He worked as helper in supermarkets (in center E -Leclerc), a sales internship in a beverage company (Choky), and internship in management control framework in Charbonneaux Brabant. “These experiences have allowed me to discover the world of business and understand what features I liked the most,” he says. Many students were moving towards the audit or the bank after passing out of I\u00c9SEG at his time, but Bruno began his career in a commercial sector with PepsiCo France. He worked in various positions in the marketing field and in 2007, he left France to settle in Russia, where he took a job with Danone, he was in charge of national accounts (Auchan, Metro,…). “I enjoyed this experience, Russia is a great country to explore” he says. In late 2009, he left the Danone subsidiary in Helsinki, Finland where he became CEO , an equally rewarding experience of management of a small company .<\/p>\n
Then in 2010, Danone announced the acquisition of a Russian food giant to create its largest subsidiary (10% of Danone): “After some hesitation I joined this adventure : 2 Billion Euros CA , 15000 employees , 30 factories , … The challenge was daunting ! “. He held the position of Vice President Sales Danone Russia since 2012.<\/p>\n
Bruno was also involved in various associations including the Office for Students (BDE), the organization of the week skiing, rugby club: great memories in addition to very formative experience for management of projects, budget and teamwork!<\/p>\n
The I\u00c9SEG community is very strong and very special: “We shared a few beers together in Lille and we were in the same boat for the September exams! I am attached to many former students and always enjoy seeing them again (the last alumnus I met was three weeks in Russia … a rugby partner…!).”<\/p>\n
At that time, spending a year abroad was not so common. I\u00c9SEG was quite precursor and proposed only a few students for a university exchange. Bruno had the chance to spend his fourth year in Canada, an opportunity to acquire a taste for adventure and openness to the world. This may explain the fact that he\u2019s lived abroad for seven years!<\/p>\n
If he has any advice for our young graduates who are almost out in the market?<\/p>\n
“Search in a field that you love because you are good at what you love. After that, we must dare … We must dare down doors, use our network (family, school, training…) to find a job. Employers are not seeking a degree, often the skills they seek above all is personality… During my graduation, we had a speech of a person from KPMG. I still remember his advice in three words: Humility, Requirement, and Ambition.<\/p>\n
That’s it. I am proud to have studied at this school and see it climbing the rankings year after year<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
