Emilie Jacqz - Work hard, play harder

For Emilie (Grande École 2001), IÉSEG was a lifetime experience that left her with very nice memories balanced between hard work and festive moments.

However, she thinks that the beauty of finance is that you can work in any sector as long as the product is talking to you. Today, she feels at home in London with all it has to offer. Although, she still has very deep relationships with her friends from her promotion with whom she shares a strong past.
