Gervaise Pinson (EDHEC Grande École 1997), candidate for the EDHEC Commitment of the Year award

Candidate for the EDHEC Commitment of the Year award.

Want to know how EDHEC inspires me?

First of all, EDHEC is about friends – loyal, reliable and for life. People first! It is this that underpins my profound connection with EDHEC.

Furthermore, just as I have long been involved in associations that combat poverty, my work at EDHEC is also about commitment: jury member for the entrance exams, academic presentations in front of students, EDHEC Resource for other alumni, contributions to the Finance Club, and more recently helping to organise our 20-year class reunion. Ultimately, I don’t think one ever really leaves EDHEC! 

Lastly, every event offers a diverse range of rich encounters, and it is this diversity that makes the EDHEC network so strong – a broad and powerful network of solidarity.

EDHEC inspires in me a sense of real attachment, loyal commitment and the spirit of sharing across a network – that’s what EDHEC means to me.
