Donor of the month: Nicolas Gérard, EDHEC Master 1999, Southern Europe Director, SMARTBOX Group

“As the 20th anniversary of our graduation approaches fast – and I look forward to seeing so many classmates in Lille! – I also find myself remembering just how much my school has made me who I am. EDHEC gave me the fundamentals to establish a career in the kinds of international firms that are so interested in our profiles, but above all it gave me that extra entrepreneurial mindset without which I could never have achieved all that I have done. Since I am unable to devote enough of my time to the school and the graduate association, as so many others do with incredible levels of energy, to mark this anniversary I decided that I would commit to making regular financial contributions to the Foundation as a token of my recognition, in particular so it can support future generations of fellow alumni in achieving their entrepreneurial dreams."
