We extend our gratitude to Vincenzo Vinzi, Dean and President of ESSEC Business School, Reetika Gupta, Deputy Dean of ESSEC APAC, and keynote speaker Ludovic Ledru, CEO, APAC of Pernod Ricard, for your words of wisdom to our graduates; to student speakers Giorgia Savarino and Sebastien Hubert Blaettler for sharing your journeys and aspirations, and to Arnaud Rubeck, President of the ESSEC Alumni Singapore Chapter, for warmly welcoming our graduates into the global ESSEC alumni community.

We are incredibly proud of our graduates, and look forward to what they will accomplish in the years to come, as they carry the ESSEC spirit wherever they go.

Congratulations once again!
