you launch your entrepreneurial project in global contexts, I got in touch with

launched my Nathalie Taquet company in 2019.”

"Enrolling on to the SKEMA Global Executive MBA has been one of the best decision I haven ever taken in my life. Compared to other schools I included in my benchmark, I particularly liked the format proposed by SKEMA, with six residential weeks over the two-year period, was manageable even with my own business trips, and still offered the possibility to meet peers face-to-face, in an international setting. A truly rewarding experience! Within weeks of my graduation, I got promoted within my company to associate director position and joined the management committee."
