Lucas Patricot
Cofounder of Faume (alumni 2012)
I co-created Faume in 2020, allowing big fashion brands that we all love to propose a “second-hand” service. Faume takes care of all the operational complexity of the refurbishing supply chain in order to give brands the possibility to communicate on their offer. In one year, more than 20 brands have joined us. By 2022, the company will accelerate its international development. For us, the circular economy is a pillar of green growth.

We are convinced that well-informed and well-trained employees will be our best assets for success.
This is why Crédit Agricole Centre-Est, a long-time partner of UCLy, welcomes with great interest and fully supports the Esdes approach to this new high-level training.

2nd year International Supply Chain Management Master Student
After my degree, I can confirm the program provided essential analytical skills for navigating the volatile business world, emphasizing cultural impact on decision-making and cross-border expansion. Taught by qualified professors and a supportive coordinator, it’s the only Lyon Catholic University and Esdes program with a truly multicultural class. After three years, I’ve made friends on every continent.

Aimée
BACHELOR IN LAW & MANAGEMENT STUDENT
I have always been interested in law and legal matters. The Bachelor in Law and Management is the only course that offers a dual curriculum from the first year. When I was younger, I wanted to become a lawyer. However, when I graduated from high school, I opted for a business school to broaden my career choices and job opportunities, without specializing too early. Today, with ESDES and the Faculty of Law, I can fulfill my ambitions while at the same time shaping a different outlook on the world, and am developing a wider range of skills and a profile that really stands out.

Clément Barioz
Master student – Creator of Le Local Piscine
Wastes are a business on any markets where there are still wastes. Intern in a shop specialized in swimming pool materials, I just realized the opportunity to reuse, remake and renew the full range of swimming pool robots and motorized tools. We created L Local Piscine in 2020, with over 200% of growth we are convinced that the second-hand market will emerge as a natural way to equip personal pools. Circular economy is the key on both economic and ecological issues.
