Jean-Frederic Petit-Nivard

Engineer, graduated from the French Grandes Ecoles in 2010. During my studies I was eager to get outside and meet companies in the real life. Understand what their business was about. I couldn't imagine continuing on my studies after 4 years of theortical courses.

I decided to start off in the Management Consulting, to learn best practices and get a feeling for what a business is, how it is run, and what makes it successful. I was eager to get out, and apply these ideas in the real world. That's when I decided to join an Industrial firm in the midst of a turnover in its strategy: growth overseas, M&A activity, industrial investments to be part of this adventure.

After 2.5 years, the projects well underway, it became clear I wanted new and bolder challenges. This is when I decided to look for a more entrepreneurial project.
