With a strong aerospace and aviation engineering background allowing me to discover in the field the entire innovation cycle from the white

paper to the daily in-service airline operations, I felt the need to step back and to get a credible executive management training. The HEC Paris EMBA and its Major in Aviation specialization is surely the right answer. It has already proven its efficiency in my daily professional life and helps me to think out of the box by creating new opportunities for my company.
