EDHEC Global MBA Alumni Spotlight : Gauthier Vasseur (GE 1992)

Gauthier VASSEUR, COO of Semarchy and EDHEC 1992 graduate, was recently on the EDHEC campus in Nice for an Alumni Spotlight conference with EDHEC’s MBA participants. He discussed his career shift from audit and big corporate to Silicon Valley start-ups, and focused in on Business Intelligence – and how big data and its optimization affects all of us, in all fields of work and all professions. Gauthier urged these international managers  to reexamine their dependency on spreadsheets and look at data in different,  more intelligent ways.  Gauthier’s new firm, Semarchy, is the expert in Data Convergence. Gauthier has worked previously for Trinet, Google, Oracle,  Hyperion, Remy Cointreau, and Ernst & Young. He is also a lecturer at Stanford University Continuing Studies and Ohio State University.
