ESCP Business School's first cohort of 29 MSc in Energy Management and its fourth cohort of 15 Executive Master in Energy Management 2013/14 graduated together on the 20^th March 2015 at the beautiful Royal Society in central London.

The keynote speech was given by Mr. Eric Descortieux, Chief Financial Officer at Perenco and ESCP Master in Management alumnus, 1988. Mr Descortieux spoke with great passion about his industry, his career and his warmth towards ESCP, which prepared him for the challenges he faced on his route to the top. This included changing industry and working in many countries, including the US, Guatemala and Colombia. 

It was then time to focus on the full-time Master in Energy Management programme.  About to graduate, student Benjamin Pullen gave a short, entertaining speech, preparing the way for Dr Gougeon and Dr Andriosopoulos to award the certificates and congratulate the new graduates.
