The EDHEC Entrepreneur of the Year award is given in recognition of a top executive’s exceptional career and the performance of their company. It is awarded to an EDHEC graduate entrepreneur who, through their appetite for risk and perseverance, has contributed to the image of EDHEC as a creator of talent.
At the head of a company posting sales of at least €3 million or an equivalent KPI, their audacity, sense of innovation and unique vision of their profession make them stand out in their sector, region or country.
Only EDHEC Alumni members can vote for candidates.
You have until midday on 17 May to vote for your favourite candidate. The result will determine 2 finalists in this category.
The selection committee will then choose the 2019 winner from those finalists.
The jury is as follows:
- Martin Barbier, Director of EDHEC Alumni
- Frédérique Cartalas, EDHEC Alumni Administrator
- Anne-Sophie de Gabriac, Business Angels Club Ambassador
- Théo Dorp, EDHEC Alumni Administrator
- Romain Dutour, EDHEC Alumni Administrator
