We are ESDES

Montabert has been committed for several years now in a circular economy scheme, such as the creation of an internal department for the “remanufacturing” of its own products, in Lyon and for Montabert in the United States. The MSc Circular Economy and Sustainable innovation will allow our teams to consolidate their achievements but also to widen their knowledge. 

From my point of view, as a HR Manager, it’s a great advantage to hire candidates with this additional education, given our new ecological and economic stakes.

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…).

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

Huiyi GAO grew up in China. Prior to her PhD from the University of Lyon, she worked as a CFO for the Chinese branch of a Japanese firm. Her academic areas are international strategic management, focusing on the practices of French multinationals and on the penetration of Chinese firms in Europe. Her publications bridge Western and Eastern strategic thinking, identifying the characteristics of a new generation of Chinese business leaders.

• 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.

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.

From his time at ESDES, Felix remembers the company case studies he worked on in class: he thinks back to these exercises whenever he is faced with business issues (HR, development, finance, marketing…).

“The variety of classes at ESDES have allowed me to understand many facets of my job today.”

From his time at ESDES, Yann remembers…

Huge gratitude towards his finance teacher who helped him successfully complete his CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) certification during his final year at ESDES. He also remembers the experiences abroad (UK, India, USA) and of course his experience as Vice-President of the BDE Rythm’X association.

The principles of circular economy, ecological and energetic transition are part of our company’s DNA, true pillars of our CSR policy, at the heart of our strategy. Also, our entrepreneurial project of responsible growth and our field of actions seems to be in perfect adequacy with the MSc program proposed by ESDES.

All companies are concerned by these sustainability challenges that have been imposed, sometimes with strong standards and regulatory requirements. In fact, they will all inevitably be led to seek expert talents on these topics, probably leading to high employability of profiles from this training.
