[NEWSLETTER] September 2021 - Fabulous publicity!

Vianney Koussens – From holiday hotels to business hotels

Vianney (Grande École 2011) loves being a manager. The Manager in Vivo course he took during his studies at IÉSEG really opened his eyes by giving him the opportunity to coach first-year students. After graduation, he flew to Colombia where he and two other IÉSEG alumni launched Masaya. This hostel concept has since grown into a chain of six hostels in Colombia and one in Ecuador. Returning to France at the end of 2020, he is now the manager of Hiptown, a site for flexible offices and co-working spaces, which also includes a restaurant, and located in front of Euratechnologie, in Lille.

Choosing to rent your clothes with Les Apprêtés is a guilt-free way to update your wardrobe frequently.

Help our students by becoming a donor to the IÉSEG Foundation!

By making a donation to the Foundation, you are helping towards the social inclusion of the School and supporting young people financially so that they can access courses at IÉSEG. Raissa Mamod (Grande École 2018) told us about her time at the School which she completed thanks to the IÉSEG Foundation. Originally from Madagascar, Raissa joined IÉSEG in the third year and continued with the PGE Masters which, thanks to her determination, she obtained. You can see her testimony on video and become a sponsor to help these talented young people.
