John Molson Executive MBA, Concordia University

On Saturday, June 3, 2023, we had the pleasure of welcoming members of our first graduating class, EMBA Class of 1987, back into the EMBA classroom. It was an opportunity for friends and colleagues to reconnect on campus once again. !
There were 8 in person and 4 members who zoomed in from various locations.

What a lovely couple of days we spent together with alumni, and faculty. We spoke about their experiences over the years, the current program and Chat GPT !

Diana Horqque and Louis Provencher, members of the Class of 2021 present their company named Go Coconut and make their pitch on L'Oeil du Dragon.

What an incredible story from the idea in EMBA 635 entitled Starting a New Venture in 2020 to the company's creation in 2021 !

Congratulations on this success and to many many more.

Watch the pitch:
