We are ESDES
Feedback from professors, students, alumni
Benoît Bourg
ALUMNI ESDES 2000
From his time at ESDES, Benoît remembers… the essential recognition of the impact of social and human factors in the transformation of companies. His memories of social strategy classes are still a resource in his daily life today.
Célio M.
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.
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.
Anne-Sophie Caistiker
ALUMNI ESDES 2013
From her time at ESDES, Anne-Sophie remembers… a sense of values and the ability to innovate. The passion transmitted by the teachers, as well as the groupwork, have forged a solid entrepreneurial culture.
Montabert
Lionel Goyet, HRD
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.
Yann Metz
ESDES Alumni 2011
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.
