Fourth Annual Gala Benefit and Visionary Awards
The ESSEC Alumni Chapter USA, its dedicated team of volunteers, and the ESSEC Foundation are pleased to invite you to the annual ESSEC NYC Gala to provide sustainable resources for its endowment fund, which aims to support all the ESSEC Foundation's actions (social scholarships, campus rehabilitation, academic excellence, responsible entrepreneurship). It also contributes to the reputation of our School by reinforcing its independence and financial solidity.
Every year, the Chapter proudly bestows the Visionary Award to honor an outstanding member of our community who has reached exceptional levels of professional and personal achievements. This year, we are delighted to recognize Hervé Hoppenot (E83) for his remarkable leadership and inspiring contributions as President and CEO of Incyte (click here to read his bio).
