Lionel Audigier (EDHEC Master 1992), General secretary, fundraising (donations & bequests), subscriber relations at EMMAÛS Soldiarité
Having pocketed his EDHEC diploma and not knowing which way to turn, Lionel began his career in financial and management positions in global companies: Total, Vivendi and TPS. These opportunities provided him with technical skills and generous remuneration packages, but left him deeply dissatisfied.
With a passion for music, he took a year out to train in music as a guitarist and percussionist. But he never became a rock singer. Not talented enough? Or perhaps because he soon became a young father?
He then turned his attention to culture and the public sector, where he held various positions for a period of around 6 years: general secretary of Forum des Images (Paris), internal auditor with the Conseil Général de l’Essonne, and CFO for the Festival de Saint-Denis.
In 2007 he joined Emmaüs, renewing his ties with the volunteer work that had helped him find meaning while working for the oil industry, when he helped the homeless one evening each week at an emergency shelter known as La Péniche du Cœur.
At EMMAÜS Solidarité, an association that offers assistance to the most disadvantaged members of society, the homeless and, more recently, migrants, he set up the management control department and later joined the senior management team, where he was responsible for the general secretariat and fundraising.
He knows now that he has found the right path, one in which culture and/or solidarity play a central role.
His training at EDHEC as well as the skills he acquired in the private sector have allowed him to do his bit for organizations undergoing massive change as they progress towards professionalization, but which must ensure they keep their soul and core values intact!
Gilles Vernet, (EDHEC Master 1992), director of Tout s’accélère
A former trader, Gilles Vernet (EDHEC Master 1992) worked for some of the world’s largest banks during the 1990s. Living a frenetic life, he left it all behind in 2001 when he learned that his mother was suffering from an incurable disease.
This leap into the unknown allowed him to focus on his passions: writing and broadcasting. He went on to write scripts for television (including Joséphine Ange Gardien) and began a career as a primary school teacher.
With a long-standing fascination for the notion of time and the exponential development of modernity, when he read Social Acceleration by Hartmut Rosa he decided to direct a film on the topic. For the first time, here was a book that provided a philosophical analysis of the phenomenon which his years in the world of finance had taught him was both powerful and absurd.
As he explored this issue with his pupils, he was blown away by the insight of their reflections and decided to film his multicultural class – a symbol of France’s Republican schools. The images produced paint a much more optimistic picture than that often presented in the media.
