at Unilever Headquarters!

Conference, exchanges and interviews

On the January the 30th, Unilever organised a day entirely designed to build closer ties with EDHEC students at their headquarters in Rueil Malmaison. A Corporate Programme Sponsor of the MSc in Marketing Management, one of the 10 final year specialisations at EDHEC, Unilever concluded with this day a year of academic collaboration on the topic of Innovation.

The event kicked off with the conference entitled “Marketing in a challenging environment”  led by Nicolas Liabeuf, VP Marketing France and member of the EDHEC Advisory Board. It followed by a visit of the extraordinary Innovation Consumer Insight and Innovation Centre, where Unilever works together with their customers to optimize the selling space and product selection. Afterwards, the winning teams of Unilever Challenge presented their conclusions in front of a prestigious panel, including  Bruno Witvoët, President of Unilever France.

Finally, the Talent Management Team presented the firm’s graduate programme: Unilever Future Leaders Programme and the related recruiting process. In order to move from theory to practice, the day finished up with a series of 40 internship and job interviews!
