Meet someone who wants to live a thousand lives.
A self-proclaimed explorer, Paul-Emeric Willette wanted to get the most he could out of his HEC Paris MBA experience. He says he did his best to keep a "balanced and curious agenda."
"There are simply too many opportunities in a single day, so it's all about making choices. Beyond mandatory classes and group work, a typical day might involve choosing between a conference with an inspiring Tech or Luxury leader, a multicultural dinner, an alumni afterwork gathering in Paris, a 5K run with your friends around the campus lake or fine-tuning your resume for an upcoming recruiting event."
Paul made sure he tried a bit of everything, stayed open-minded, and allowed himself to fully immerse in the transformative quality of an HEC Paris MBA.
