Raphael Blonkowski

A graduate of emlyon’s Master in Finance at Bachelor and MSc level, Raphaël arrived at the school with a thirst for entrepreneurship and emerged with it duly quenched, thanks to the school’s business incubator. His dream has since become a reality. He co-founded Valuation Advisory and then founded RB Advisory, a leading M&A outsourcing firm for investment banks and M&A independent advisors. RB Advisory is neither an investment bank nor a consulting firm, assisting investment banks and independent M&A advisors in drafting their presentation documents and building financial models. Raphaël recounts where his entrepreneurial journey started and where it is heading.

Hithesh Papudesu

I am Hithesh Papudesu, an engineer from India who is currently pursuing the MSc in Luxury Management and Marketing at emlyon business school. Before enrolling myself into this program, I worked as an Application Development Analyst for a Forbes 500 biopharmaceutical and cosmetic client at Accenture. I then decided to pursue this Masters program to justify my penchant for the luxury industry and here I am, as happy as a sand boy! One of the plus points of the program is the strong international exposure which is more pronounced via the exchange semester. I chose the fashion management track at London College of Fashion(LCF) for my second semester and what a liberating experience it was!
