New management team of the HEC Foundation

Olivier Sevillia (MBA.90), Deputy CEO Group and General Director Europe of Capgemini, is the new President of the HEC Foundation.

“As the new President of the HEC Foundation, I am delighted to participate fully in a project that is dear to my heart and that I have supported for a long time. Graduated from the HEC MBA in 1990 after an initial training in engineering, I am today the Deputy CEO Group and CEO Europe of Capgemini.

I have the honor of succeeding Bertrand Léonard (H.85) who wishes to turn his full attention to his entrepreneurial project. I would like to address to Bertrand, on behalf of the School and the HEC community, all the esteem we have for him and our sincere thanks for the extraordinary work he has done as President of the Foundation.

During the past 4 years, support to HEC Paris has increased from 7M€ in 2014 to 8.5M€ in 2018 and the number of donors has increased from 8,600 to 12,600 donors, thus significantly increasing the culture of giving in our community and setting the Foundation in a very favorable direction for the start of our next fundraising campaign.

I would also like to take this opportunity to introduce Delphine Colson (H.94), new Executive Director of the HEC Foundation. A HEC graduate from 1994, Delphine joined the HEC Foundation team early October after an international career in the non-profit and fundraising sector in New York and Hong Kong. After having participated in the first fundraising campaign of the HEC Foundation as Director of Major Donors, Delphine is delighted to join the team to take up the challenges ahead and launch the upcoming campaign.

As we move towards our future projects and challenges Delphine and I are delighted to be joining forces with the School and HEC Alumni “
