- Le 9 février 2022
On 18 April, Léa will be running the 126th Boston Marathon in support of buildOn. Over the next weeks, she will be training to run the 26.2 miles. She is also fundraising to support buildOn.
What is buildOn?
An organisation that aims to break the cycle of poverty, illiteracy, and low expectations through service and education. buildOn mobilises students to transform their communities through service and change the world by building schools in developing countries. They do this by empowering underserved students across the US, including Boston, to take part in service-learning to create lasting change in their communities AND constructing schools in 8 developing countries around the world. In 2021, buildOn students served over 18,000 hours to their communities, and buildOn communities constructed 220 schools globally!
What about Léa?
She says "Running the 126th Boston Marathon for buildOn is the best way for me to align my passion with a cause that is really close to my heart and the values I stand for: solidarity, empathy and courage." Léa has committed to raising at least $10,000 to support buildOn. "I am asking if you would consider joining me in this effort." Your tax-deductible donation will go directly to buildOn's Boston programmes, supporting youth from high schools across the city to make a lasting change in their community through service!
Léa concludes by saying "Thank you so much for your consideration and for being a part of this significant period in my life – both as a participant in the Boston Marathon and as a supporter of buildOn."

#Iconic_Audencians: Boris Couilleau (GE 01), pioneering democratic & inclusive business practices
Boris Couilleau, Grande Ecole 2001, Founder & President Boris Couilleau’s first years after graduation were not plain sailing: within half a decade, he’d experienced the consequences of a ruinous investment, a series of jobs with little meaning, the premature birth of his twins, and the stress of working under an abusive boss. But Boris managed to come out of it stronger and finally in tune with his true aspirations. A beautifully coherent career ensued, driven by the desire to facilitate the daily life of vulnerable citizens and to pioneer democratic business practices. In 2006, he launched Titi Floris, a transport company for people with reduced mobility. The group is in constant expansion and now counts 1,500 employees across the western region of France. Titi Floris has set the standard for virtuous businesses, striving to integrate the world of disabled people with the rest of society. Boris then launched Titi Services, a subsidiary offering personal support services for vulnerable users, currently with 80 employees and a healthy 1.7M€ turnover. His latest ventures include La Fraterne – an inclusive restaurant that employs disabled people and encourages dialogue, and Hacoopa, an innovative, shared housing concept for seniors. Boris has chosen the SCOP (social and participatory cooperative) model for all of his companies. With its member ownership structure and community focus, it gives employees a skin in the game and it fosters outcomes that support the group. Boris tells us more about what led him to run one of western France’s most successful cooperative groups. But he also insists on giving us a reality check: “It’s not all sunshine and rainbows every day!” Read the full article here Audencia's Iconic Alumni It all began back in 2020 when we celebrated Audencia’s 120th anniversary by launching our very first iconic alumni collection. For this second series, we are delighted and proud to showcase 12 new profiles of Audencians from around the globe. The alumni that you will discover have very generously given up their time for an interview with fellow alumna, Katia Hérault (GE 2001), for which we are immensely grateful.
