Donor of the month: Pierre BARBE (EDHEC 1983) Head of Africa, at VITOL

“Since my days at Rue du Port, our alma mater has come a long way under the watchful eyes of Olivier Oger and Emmanuel Métais. It has taken all the right turns and managed to keep in contact with the lead group, even becoming an international reference, particularly in finance. Yet what has been achieved remains fragile, with ferocious competition from the top institutes. The support of alumni is essential, something that all the biggest universities in the world have understood as they are supported by powerful and long-standing graduate networks. We still have some way to go!
In terms of impact, I am delighted to have been able to contribute to the iconic EDHEC Giving and Station F projects and support the student grant scheme – three successes that enable the school to face the future with optimism.

Long Live EDHEC!"
