Finance Club: Read the latest news and take part in our projects!

GERVAISE PINSON (EDHEC MASTER 1997)

“I joined the Finance Club because I want to explore new things, take pleasure from sharing and learning, and contribute to the club’s development."

After her initial experience in an auditing firm (E&Y), Gervaise joined the Finance Department at Bertelsman and later at CWT, where she worked closely with operational staff and management, helping to run their strategic projects. Now in her own company, Bee My CFO, Gervaise is using her experience to support businesses as they expand and structure their own development.

BERTRAND GALAS (EDHEC MASTER 2003)

“I have often taken part in the events organised on the Paris campus, as well as those run by the Fi Plus group, and now I’d like to give something back, to contribute to the network and the development of the EDHEC Finance Club."

Bertrand has over 12 years’ experience in finance, initially in auditing with Deloitte, followed by consultancy for finance departments, and finally in-house where he was responsible for structuring and overseeing the transformation and innovation plan of an international services group.

EDHEC VENTURES

The “EDHEC Ventures” fundraising scheme has now been finalised. It is dedicated to quickly sourcing financing for start-ups from the EDHEC incubator (EYE) selected for their potential, in the form of tickets worth €50k, in exchange for a minority share in company capital.

This “missing link” arrives just in time to finance the preparation for the first fundraising operation: a fund generated by EDHEC graduates and which only invests in start-ups incubated in the School.

Evaluating the Finance Club member base
Among the Grandes Ecoles, the EDHEC Finance Club is one of the biggest and most dynamic. In order to better serve our members and offer content and events that closely match the professional issues they face, this project aims to analyse the member database and identify all relevant criteria allowing us to identify different segments and ultimately get to know our members better.
