Choiseul ranking: 19 EDHEC alumni rewarded for their commitment to the positive transformation of finance

The Choiseul Institute, a think tank specialising in major global economic issues, is honouring 19 alumni of EDHEC Business School (Grande École Programme and EDHEC International BBA) in the second edition of its Choiseul Finance of Tomorrow 2025 ranking. This ranking, structured into five business categories, aims to highlight finance professionals under the age of 40 who hold positions of responsibility and are committed to making finance a lever for environmental, social, economic and territorial transformation.

Advisory & M&A, Financing, Private Equity, Wealth & Asset Management, Fintechs and decentralised finance... Our alumni shine in all these fields!

To establish its rankings, the Institut Choiseul uses a number of criteria, including the economic weight and impact of the winning alumni's company, their position, their level of responsibility and their influence within their organisation. Their ability to combine economic performance with impact (social, environmental or territorial) is also taken into account, as is their capacity to drive change in the financial and economic ecosystem in France and Europe.
