Following the arrival six months ago of Marie Trüb as the chair of the group and Claire Marie Mouchous as the vice-chair, SKEMA Conseil recently welcomed three new branch managers at the Lille, Sophia Antipolis and Grand Paris campuses.
The new head of the Sophia Antipolis branch is Clément Possenti, a Grand Ecole programme L3 student. He came to SKEMA after attending preparatory classes at Lycée Adolphe-Thiers in Marseille. Clément said, "I joined SKEMA Conseil to give my L3 year a more concrete meaning and learn as many skills as possible."
Valentine Mazur has taken the reins at Lille. She completed her preparatory classes at Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris and is looking to SKEMA Conseil as a "springboard into work". Valentine, from Provence, is currently in the Grand Ecole programme's L3 year, studying the accounting and audit track. She is aiming for a career in business strategy consulting. At the Grand Paris campus, the new branch manager is Louis Aupy, a Grand Ecole programme finance student.
Turnover up sharply
Between January 2021 and January 2022, SKEMA Conseil recorded a turnover of €275,000, beating the previous record by €5,000. "We completed 125 studies in a year. After a difficult year in 2020 due to the pandemic, we're really pleased with this achievement," said Claire Marie Mouchous. She added: "We have lots going on in terms of business development. We're working on approaching some big groups, but we're also looking at public sector calls for tender as a way of growing our business."
ISO 9001 standard confirmed
SKEMA Conseil was awarded ISO 9001 certification, recognised by customers as proof of service quality, without a single nonconformity. Simultaneously, the JE was awarded a "satisfactory" rating (the highest grade) following an audit by the French National Junior Enterprise Confederation. "The confederation congratulated us on our strategy, leadership, communication and HR policy. This is a first in the history of the SKEMA Conseil Group," said Marie Trüb proudly.
As you may be aware, the JE works with 53 project managers across SKEMA's three French campuses.
