"I am genuinely impressed with the quality and variety of profiles we are welcoming this week at HEC Paris: over 170 amazing students from over 30 nationalities. I feel really privileged having the opportunity to teach and guide such hard-working and talented minds. Some of them I already got the opportunity to talk to during the interview process last year; some others I am really excited about welcoming face-to-face on the campus this coming week."
