Focus on the KEDGE / Navigating the Future Event

The students of the MSc Sustainable Finance, Business Transformation for Sustainability and International Business were honored to participate in an event with special guest Stéphane Le Diraison, professional skipper and Vendée Globe finisher.
Stéphane brilliantly captivated the Master's students with his fascinating tales of sailing around the world at the highest level. His commitment to ocean preservation added an inspiring dimension to the discussion on the future of navigation.

In an engaging session, Stéphane also shared invaluable insights into leadership, teamwork, and resilience drawn from a lifetime spent at sea. His tales of conquering challenges on the open waters provided students with powerful lessons which they can apply to the business world.
