#Iconic_Audencians: Thomas Roulet (GE 09), Cambridge's Frenchie professor

Thomas Roulet, GE 2009, Deputy Director of the MBA Programme, Cambridge Judge Business School, Cambridge
He is teased about his accent and his friends ask him to choose the wine at mealtimes. Professor Roulet’s French touch is like a signature that he wears happily, especially on the day after France’s football team defeats England. He even claims to bake his own galette des Rois because “you can’t find any good ones in Cambridge”.
Thomas enjoys this French impertinence, which gives a special touch to his journey from a finance student at Audencia to an associate professor in organisational theory at Cambridge. With enduring ties to France, Thomas delights in a job in England that, in his Harry Potter gown and in 800-year-old buildings, plunges him into the heart of society’s greatest debates on one of the most renowned campuses in the world.

#Iconic_Audencians: Olivier Duha (MSCI 93), disrupting the world of consumer relations
Olivier Duha, MSCI 1993, CEO & Founder, Webhelp, Brussels “I was certainly lucky to grow up in a healthy business environment and to have received an education that favoured due diligence. It is obvious to me that a company must be profitable to survive and grow. You need a simple business model where you understand what you are selling, know what it costs and can anticipate what you will make. In the early 2000s, however, these principles were not in vogue. The era of the new economy favoured originality over profitability and we were talking about disruption, first mover advantage, winner takes all”, writes Olivier Duha in his book “Think Human – La révolution de l’expérience client à l’heure du digital” published by Eyrolles. Twenty years later, the CEO and founder of Webhelp (120,000 employees in more than sixty countries) can look back on his company’s flawless track record, which quickly combined disruption and profitability to become one of the world's leading providers of customer experience and relationship services and solutions. “If there’s a message that I would like to pass on to future entrepreneurs, it would be to say that there are endless opportunities out there,” Olivier says, choosing to sum up his thoughts with the adage: The sky is the limit.

Victoria Mandefield, GE 2018, Founder & CEO Solinum, Paris Victoria Mandefield is a social entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Solinum, creator of Soliguide, a survival guide and support for the homeless. She is gaining recognition in France as a key contributor in raising awareness and providing solutions for the homeless. She continues to shake up the world of societal impact, working closely with France’s major support systems, including 115, the call centre run by the emergency social services, as well as the French Red Cross. Determined, constantly in a hurry, and paring her actions down the essentials, Victoria lives life at 100 km/h. At 28, her days are devoted to creating social impact and she doesn’t bother with detours or taking the long way round. Perched on two packing boxes during her lunch break, she answers our interview questions simply, precisely and directly, her voice hoarse from a persistent cough. “I don’t pretend that on my own I’m changing the world, but by helping a few people, I am making my contribution and improving the system as a whole. That’s something.” Read the full article here Audencia's Iconic Alumni For the third year in a row, we are delighted and proud to showcase 12 new profiles of Audencians from around the globe.
