What our students think...

I began my career at Chanel 10 years ago and am currently Head of Transformation Retail Mode Europe. My team is in charge of driving projects aimed at improving the operational efficiency of our retail network in the distribution network in Europe.
I work with a wide range of teams and professions, and at ICN I particularly enjoyed the focus on teamwork and multi-disciplinary group projects, which enabled me to broaden my thinking.
The broad choice of specialties also gave me an insight into different fields such as marketing, supply chain and distribution, all of which I find extremely useful today.
