We are ESDES

From his time at ESDES, Simon remembers… a sense of attentiveness, sharing and team-building and all the skills necessary for developing your own business: accounting, corporate finance, law, marketing, project management…. We use everything: from theory to sharing experiences. Everything you need to grow!

The ESDES Enactus program allows us to develop our interpersonal, managerial and entrepreneurial skills through a unique experience! I loved playing a part in addressing society’s challenges by thinking up creative and cooperative projects.

To fully play our role in all the transitions that we will have to accompany and simply to allow these transitions to happen in a positive and inclusive way, we are perfectly aware of the importance of the human being. 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.

A graduate of EM Grenoble, Franck Giroudon is head of Marketing and Digital Business specialization 100% in English. He has over 20 years of professional experience in marketing and business development in the field of new technologies. During his career, he has held managerial and general management positions in international groups and startups.

LinkedIn profile

• I am in the field of circular economy
• the latest rankings achievement by the school convinced me to apply at Esdes Business School.
• the values of the Catholic University of Lyon and Esdes.

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.

From her time at ESDES, Pauline remembers… A solid network of friends and the basics of enology from the Enology Club…

After completing a double degree at Napier University (Edinburgh, UK), she discovered the profession of FX Sales during her final year internship.

Recruited by UBS AG, she became FX Sales Trader for companies in the French-speaking part of Switzerland.

After only a few months, she was promoted to Associate Director and now covers companies of all sizes and all sectors (multinationals, SMEs, international organizations, commodity traders…).
