An unforgettable evening in Paris celebrating the HEC Paris, Doha GCC Class of 2026.
On the night of the GCC Reception, graduates from four cohorts across the region came together for a special celebration marked by meaningful conversations, shared experiences, and lasting connections.
The evening featured inspiring remarks from Joshua Kobb, Chief Growth and Impact Officer; Philippe Oster, Executive Director of International Affairs at HEC Paris; and Véronique Ehrhard, Vice President of the HEC Alumni Association. Cohort representatives Kholoud Al Ghati, Academic Delegate of the EMBA PIF Riyadh, and Abdulrahman Al Jumaily, Social Delegate of the EMBA Doha, also shared reflections on their journeys. The celebration was led by Nayef Sabeh, Director of Marketing and Outreach, who served as Master of Ceremonies.
Together, they celebrated growth, leadership, and the remarkable impact of the GCC community within the global HEC Paris network.
We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to all the Class of 2026 cohort representatives for their dedication and contribution throughout the journey: Nour Elhouda Zorgui and Ahmed M. Elazab (EMBA Riyadh), Abdallah Elsaeidy and Abdulrahman Al Jumaily (EMBA Doha), Kholoud Al Ghati and Imran Haleem Shaikh (EMBA PIF Riyadh), and Tariq Atiyah and Maryam Al-Darwish (EMBA Emerging Leaders Doha). Their commitment and leadership played an important role in strengthening the spirit of their respective cohorts.
Our sincere thanks also go to the distinguished guests, families, faculty, partners, alumni, and class representatives whose presence made this evening so special.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026.
